Strangers

by Cristian Mihai, Cristian Mihai

What would your world look like if you could invent for yourself a new world every day? If you could build the world exactly how you'd like to, but you couldn't create a new self? What would you do if you felt that in order to get what you want most in the world you just have to say something no one else has ever thought of saying?

About the author

Cristian Mihai was born in Constanța, Romania, a port city on the Black Sea where cargo ships come and go and nothing stays for long. He started writing fiction at fourteen. He never stopped.

His novels include Jazz, High Stakes, The Perfect Match, King of Kings, 2:22 AM, and the collection Dream City and Other Stories. The fiction tends toward transgressive territory: unrequited love that stays unrequited, moral compromise without redemption, endings that refuse to comfort. His characters make choices and live with them. No one gets saved at the last minute.

He also writes nonfiction. The Big Book of Mental Models applies cognitive frameworks to creative work. The Mental Models Club translates theory into practice for writers and artists.

irevuo is his publishing platform. Essays on craft, guides for independent creators, resources for writers who want to build something that lasts. The site operates on a simple premise: creative work requires creative thinking, and both can be taught.

Cristian writes in English. He lives in Romania. He believes that fiction should leave marks.
