LIFE

Katsafanas was born in the Elmhurst section of Providence but grew up in Massachusetts. His grandfather, an important figure in his youth, was incarcerated when he was born for allegedly "fixing the lottery."

He began writing poems and rapping with his cousin his freshman year in high school under the moniker Faux Nick, producing 4 full length records and a collection of texts prior to graduation. Katsafanas became a regular abuser of alcohol (alcoholic) in his late teens, a habit that would routinely "spiral out of control" until he began the process of quitting the substance in late 2021.

During the process, Katsafanas spent considerable time studying ibn al-Arabi, Proclus, and Syrianus. His relationship with Deleuze, Yannaras, and Nietzsche is more complicated.

From 2008 to 2018 Katsafanas produced a cache of novels, short stories, and poetry collections. In 2018, dissatisfied with the output, he quit writing to focus on oil painting, drinking vodka, and studying music theory.

In early 2021 Katsafanas experienced a particular dream that led him back to writing seriously, albeit in a more formalist and mathematical framework. In 2026 he founded the AAFL to formally release these texts.

Katsafanas is a proponent of psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana. His political views align with Bakunin, Kropotkin, and Nader. He's a "3rd party voter." His son, Nikolaos Enrique, was born on Aug. 8 2026.
