Paul Hawkins

    April 16, 1987

    Paul Hawkins is a British author and humorist whose work wryly observes the persistent struggle against the encroaching responsibilities of adulthood. Residing in Berlin, he uses his distinctive voice to explore the universal human desire to delay the inevitable and seek an elusive, perhaps undeserved, retirement from life's demands. His writing is characterized by an ironic detachment and a keen eye for the absurdities of societal expectations. Through humor and insightful commentary, Hawkins offers a relatable perspective on navigating the challenges of growing up, or perhaps more accurately, avoiding it.
