Nick flirted with academia for a while, writing a PhD that explored the relationship between space, identity and history in the contemporary French Caribbean novel and helped him develop a taste for cask-aged rums. Nick is a published translator, proud father, plays bass guitar in a rock band and has an unhealthy obsession with Miles Davis.
