I am a writer, teacher, and critic.  I grew up in Kentucky and currently live in Chongqing with my partner and daughter.  I am nonbinary and prefer the singular they.

I’m deeply interested in the experience of everyday life, of being in a world.  I’m more concerned with what things are like than what they are.  I’m inspired by Sei Shonagon, Clarice Lispector, Sheila Heti, Tori Amos, Zhuangzi, and Revolutionary Girl Utena.

I have a new channel called texture notes where I discuss books, shows, and games.  I mostly talk about the texture of each thing, the texture of my experience, not the thing itself (there is no thing itself).

If you’d like to contact me, my email address is tevis at this website (no www).
