A commitment to truth through fiction
I’m Nicholas Andriani, a writer of literary fiction—and to tell you the truth, I believe fiction is the only truth.
Bold. My stories are written for readers who crave intellectual challenge. They are drawn to the borderlands of myth, memory, and modernity. In these places, imagination becomes revelation. Narrative becomes a form of knowing.
Read original tales of identity, longing, and transformation.
Welcome to Nicholas Andriani’s fiction, a collection of stories where myth and modernity converge. Each piece explores the tension between self and world—between the seen and the invisible.
My fiction emerges from a lifelong exploration of borders—between nations, languages, and inner worlds. Growing up in the Texas Borderlands, I danced between various identities – Romani, German, Texan, Mexican.
