David Flusfeder is a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at the School of English, University of Kent. He holds a BA from the University of Sussex and an MA from the University of East Anglia (UEA), a renowned institution for creative writing. His academic work is deeply intertwined with his literary career, focusing on both fiction and narrative non-fiction.
His research interests include creative writing, fiction, narrative non-fiction, and thematic explorations of freedom, identity, fortune, and chance. These themes are reflected in his publications, which span novels, short stories, journalistic essays, and collaborative artistic projects such as the opera Army of Lovers. His teaching includes courses such as EN910 - Non-Fiction: People and EN693 - Elements of Fiction, demonstrating his commitment to both genres.
Flusfeder’s recent publications reveal a consistent engagement with personal and cultural narratives, particularly around risk, memory, and everyday life. His 2022 non-fiction book Luck: A Personal Account of Fortune, Chance & Risk in 13 Investigations exemplifies this trend, blending memoir, philosophy, and investigative journalism. His works in Granta, such as The Last Shopkeepers of London and Vinyl Road Trip, reflect a deep interest in cultural preservation and nostalgia. The recurring themes across his articles include identity, narrative form, chance, and human behavior in social contexts.
