Sobre IBD

Étienne D’Abattoir, the inveterate writer, romantic, and lover of French poetry, offers witty and understated insights into the world and the company he keeps, as his restless feet travel from Paris to Dubrovnik, Brussels, Buenos Aires, Peru, El Paso, and Los Angeles. Tender and ruthless in his wandering and wondering, he is the most reluctant of assassins.
