Degrees of Absurdity

About the Author

Jeff Sullivan

Philosophy for people best described as jacked nerds.

Jeff Sullivan began writing from a café in Barcelona in 2022, because life’s big questions wouldn’t leave him alone. What started there became an ongoing art project: philosophy for the kind of people best described as jacked nerds — people with skin in the game, who will read Albert Camus, adventure to a different country, and lift heavy weights all in the same week.

He is a twenty-five-year-old from Worcester, Massachusetts, now living in Austin, Texas, where he works in tech as a Sales Executive at athenahealth. He is fluent in Spanish, with an advanced proficiency certification from the Instituto Cervantes (DELE C1), and UMass Amherst is his alma mater. His favorite hobbies are playing basketball, getting goosebumps from old music, and laughing until his stomach hurts.

Degrees of Absurdity is his first novel.
