An Official Biography

Moreno Mitrović is an artificial British—reluctant to acquiring national adjectives—straying towards living under an umbrella in west Ireland, trying to utter a decent word in Gaelic. After not dreaming of becoming a plumber, as he was advised at primary school, he is taking several baths and an English & Linguistics degree at York. He is desperately trying to find some time to write, though that has not worked as well as he had hoped. He really believes he is the next Will Shakespeare, and he thinks Hamlet would have been his smashing hit if only he had been born half-a-millennium earlier. He was much closer to writing the Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and then some bloke came out of nowhere (read: Cambridge) and convinced the world he was a genius. Apparently, any next cool stuff is his to claim. Surely. He also thinks Wikipedia is such a smashing phenomenon it should be protected by the UNESCO. After losing almost all of his hair trying to get a Zois scholarship, he lost his sense completely ― though that is one obligatory reference to the being of his sense, as he was born without any (―not that he recalls it). He still sternly believes most of the biography was a blessing from God, as faith is so amazingly popular these days―he did come up with that, though. Seriously.

An Approximation of a Description

Moreno is not a bad kid. Honestly. He tries to lead a decent life, and does his best to do his best. He refuses to have adjectives attributed. He prefers a collage like this one . . .
