About
About Leon Veyr
Leon Veyr writes about love, human absurdity, and the elaborate systems people invent to make sense of one another.
His fiction is drawn to the comedy of intimacy: the rules lovers create, the misunderstandings they cultivate, and the extraordinary confidence with which people explain feelings they barely understand themselves.
His novel, WHAT WE LEAVE UNMAPPED, explores what happens when two people invent a private language for love—and discover that even the most intimate understanding has its limits.
He is also the author of THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CONVERSATION, available as a Kindle eBook.
