In this brilliantly listenable autobiography, one of India’s greatest writers shows us the roots of everything he has written. He begins with a dream and a gentle haunting before taking us to an idyllic childhood in Jamnagar by the Arabian Sea and New Delhi in the early 1940s - where he found material for his first short story.

Et opgør med den gamle traver om et fag, hvis aktører er for nærige og hemmelighedsfulde til at give noget af sig selv.

En bog om det, vi har til fælles: At være menneske og historiefortæller.

What begins as a meditation on photography evolves into something much deeper—a journey through art, memory, and self-discovery. In My Sort of Philosophy, Christian Santiago invites listeners into his world of storytelling, where images, words, and life experiences blur into one evolving narrative. This audiobook isn’t a traditional “how-to” or a step-by-step manual. Instead, it unfolds naturally—like a photograph developing in the darkroom—capturing the beauty of imperfection, the uncertainty of time, and the ways art shapes the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finding Me: From Imposter to Icon is the raw, unfiltered story of how I went from pretending to be someone else to becoming a two-time Photographer of the Year. It’s about the setbacks that nearly broke me, the unexpected moments that shaped me, and the lessons I learned from capturing one of the fastest, most chaotic sports in the world. More than a memoir about paintball or photography, this is a journey of identity, resilience, and discovering what happens when you stop living for others and start living for yourself.

Now he takes his own life as raw material, writing about growing up in the cultural wastelands of the English Midlands of the 1960s and 70s.
