edit data

Matthew Anderson was born and raised in Dover, Delaware, which may explain why he is so drawn to the outside world. Proficient in five languages and working towards his goal of ten languages under his belt, he is passionate about disrupting the fall of language amidst the global hegemony of English. In his reading and writing, he is drawn to the melancholy and the absurd, the deeply profound and the seemingly nonsensical. He feels most at home in unfamiliar surroundings that allow him to expand and see the world through the idioms and inflections of other tongues. He plans to continue pursuing his writing craft long-term wherever he finds himself in the world. He currently lives in Taichung, Taiwan.
