Lewis is a notorious Berlin expat whose seditious scribblings have caused hipsters worldwide to shit their pants in fear. He lives by his wits in Berlin.P. Lewis was born in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1967. He grew up in Adelphi, Maryland. His father, Dr. Stephen E. Henderson, was the author of Understanding the New Black Poetry. From 1985 to 1992 Phil Henderson attended Howard University in Washington D.C. Henderson dropped out a number of times to travel the world during these years, going first to Germany, Holland and Belgium, then France, Italy, Spain, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Romania. In late 1987 to early 1988, he lived in Cairo, Egypt.Upon his return to the United States he edited a small literary magazine called Cafe Noir.After graduating from Howard University in 1992, Henderson became a member of the Fiction Collective Two, with whom he published his first novel, Life of Death, under a nom-de-plume. Between 1993 and 2004 Henderson published only sporadically in small journals.In 2006, Phil Henderson, as P. Lewis, won the American Book Award for his second published novel, Nate. The novel took five years to write and went through eight different drafts. It was finished in 1998, yet rejected so relentlessly that Henderson published it under his own imprint, eight years later.P. Lewis has been based in Berlin since 2002. Since moving to Berlin he has appeared at various venues both in Berlin and the United States, including Tacheles, Literatur-Haus, Schokoladen, English Theatre Berlin (with Lady Gaby's FUEL), Bowery Poetry Club, Curious Fox Bookstore, Amerika-Haus Berlin (with Anthony Baggette), and the Werkstatt der Kultur (with Akira Ando, Han Sato and Rashidii Graffiti).In 2018 he did a joint podcast with noted Berlin guitarist/soundscapist Sean Derrick Cooper Marquardt, and had completed the first volume of a planned series of books entitled AMERICAN EPITAPH. He has also completed a novel about pre-hipster Berlin (of 20 years past), entitled BERLIN ASYLUM.ver menos
