Arsenio Di Donato
My name is Arsenio Di Donato, though some of you might know me as Andy Karsai. Son of Hungary, a land rich in history and culture, but today I find myself settled in the lively and diverse landscape of the United Kingdom. My life has been anything but ordinary—more a complex web of experiences rather than a straightforward path—shaped by a deep love for books and a constant search for meaning through philosophy.
Born in Hungary, I carry the soul of its traditions and resilience wherever I go. However, my journey has taken me far beyond those borders. I’ve lived in six countries, including the USA, Denmark, Hungary, Canada, Mexico, and now the UK. Along the way, I’ve visited a dozen more and moved over fifty times, each place adding new layers of understanding and perspective to my worldview.
Settling in the UK has been a transformative experience. It has presented its challenges but has also opened my eyes to new ways of thinking. In this melting pot of cultures and ideas, I’ve found fertile ground for my growth as both a writer and philosopher. It’s here that I’ve grounded myself, driven by a desire to explore the human condition and our place in an ever-changing world.
Among those who share my passion for books, I’ve found a home in the written word. Writing gives me a sense of connection, allowing me to communicate my thoughts and engage with others who seek to explore life’s deeper meanings. There is comfort in knowing that, through words, we can bridge distances and find common ground.
A defining part of my story is living with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. This isn’t just a footnote in my life; it’s a fundamental part of how I perceive the world. It colours my reflections and adds a unique perspective to my work, allowing me to contribute something different to the broader conversation on life and human experience.
Through my writing, I aim to offer a glimpse into my world, inviting you to join me in contemplating existence with a hunger for wisdom, empathy, and shared understanding. I hope to spark conversations that challenge conventional thinking and encourage us to see life through a broader, more inclusive lens.
