Rajiv Iyer

Author bio

Voracious Reader, Film Connoisseur, Music Sampler, Discussion Seeker, Tech Enthusiast, Programmer, Existential Philosopher, Another Human. [I write on & off based on how busy/stressful my Life/Job is.] Most of my writing is at the intersection of existentialism, dark humor, farcical comedy-of-errors, social/political/religious satire, some element of the macabre or grotesque existential horror. That's my "natural default setting" as David Foster Wallace would say. I am attempting to extricate myself out of this self-imposed pigeon-hole, broaden my horizons, and write on positive happy stuff, like Romance, and feel-good stories. But I also think Sharp Satire is what I do best. Most of my writing is also quite verbose, heavy on description, weak on dialogues. This is another area I need to improve on, especially if its to be appreciated by a wider audience. You will also find my writing is maybe not "structured" as per conventional literature standards, and also densely peppered with pop-culture references, computer science or basic science references, political/religious/social references, recursive layers of jokes: almost like a typed equivalent of "Arrested Development" (pretty much one of my favorite shows of all time).
