About the Author

Marcel is a two-year-old Eurasian ermine (Mustela erminea) specimen in the care of the New Holland Institute for Biological Research.

Born in a burrow beneath the Cernavoda nuclear power plant, he was raised to sentience after consuming uranium-contaminated wastewater, and took up figure drawing soon thereafter. Eventually he came to the attention of the Institute. He was moved to a below-ground facility at an undisclosed location in the Australian outback, where he lives today.

Marcel has acquired many new interests after relocation, including the Beach Boys, bird-watching, brutalist architecture, corduroy, Eastern Bloc militaria, Franz Kafka, linguistics, New Wave, and string instruments. We present his work here for your consideration.

For the sake of his enrichment, we have granted Marcel limited access to the Internet, through a suitably-small desktop computer. He can be reached at mm.marinescu@proton.me or, otherwise, via x.com.

Any delay in correspondence, or confusion of language, is to be blamed solely on our human typist, whose task is to translate his beastlike modes-of-expression into readable text.
