Mark Tapley's been writing for two years. Mostly poetry or short stories but he's currently working on a French novel. Mark's not real so you can't sue him, but his real identity really doesn't matter. Suffice it say that he speaks English, French and Chinese, that he's lived in Belgium, Hong Kong, France and currently Beijing. He's a sucker for the Beats, slam/oral poetry, any music, as well as authors like P. Auster, S. Rushdie, J. Fante, R. Gary/E. Ajar, D. Pennac, Mo Yan, Lao She and U. Eco.
