Traylor Parks

Traylor Parks is the chronicler, the myth-maker. A novelist with a poet’s ear and a punk's heart, he writes like he plays — all instinct, all in. His latest work, “ROSA - The Straycat from Venice”, is already a cult classic in the making. Under the shower, Parks is also a musician, a man with a battered guitar and a voice soaked in saltwater and late-night regrets. His stories come with soundtracks. Traylor Parks, a screenwriter, spins stories that sting like salt air and land like gospel. A former truck driver, dishwasher, and barfly turned punk-poet, Parks was struck by an overseas ghost that turned a drifting scumbag into an obsessed philosopher. He writes with the urgency of someone who knows how easily a moment - or a life - can disappear.
