About

Christopher Lee Lewis

Christopher grew up in Illinois, but has called Southern California home for over twenty years — long enough to miss Illinois winters, but never far from his Midwest roots.

He writes personal essays and humor pieces drawn from everyday life, the constant being the absurdity that surrounds him. While the world seems intent on getting stranger by the day, Christopher remains a reluctant pillar of sanity, documenting the chaos along the way. His writing is shaped by a punk ethos: unpretentious, honest, and never taking itself too seriously.
