AUTHOR OF TINSEL ROSE AND SILK HIDING STEEL
Born in New York City, Stephen Alix is the proud son of two Dominican parents. He's lived in Washington Heights, the Bronx, and currently resides in Brooklyn. Growing up, Platano was often for dinner while Alice in Chains jammed on MTV. He embraced Pearl Jam and Nirvana while eating plate after plate of mofongo. He’s consumed enough Nick Toons to call Ren and Stimpy and Rocko’s Modern Life, inspirations to his work.
Many years later, he's learned to further explore his heritage while also embracing the mixed cultures found in New York City. He sees life as bitter sweet, and his writings reflect the duality of our existence where we can be crying one moment and laughing the next.
Life is often melancholic but also joyous and his works celebrate them both. Sometimes all at once, with humor, heartfelt moments, and devastating losses. His works are an experience, you feel them. He writes cruel, sad things but what you'll feel after will make you appreciate life in ways you never thought possible.
