Thomas Fuller, writer

Thomas Fuller in Blesle, France, spring 2011.

He says Ambivalence, the book he's been writing since 2004, is almost complete. 

"Ambivalence is a post-literate fable," Fuller says, "both reportage and collage of a man's attempt to sit in a room quietly by himself for at least one hour."

Fuller wrote a great deal of the book while working as a night watchman in a tire factory near Clermont-Ferrand.

"I wrote the book by hand in big yellow notebooks I bought at Auchan. It was dark, quiet, and I was alone for long periods of time."
