In our modern, high-tech society, the very concept of literature is changing as fast as cultural norms regarding sex, race, even the basic definition of what is considered normal. Central to Jean Gabriel's work is the characters and their story. For thousands of years audiences have responded to stories told at first in the oral tradition and in the dramatic form. The printed word was a major turning point, as was cinema (and video). And now we see interactive forms of story telling proliferating. But the very essence of story has not changed. Today the creation of an empathetic character or characters that can overcome tremendous odds and conflicts in a setting that at first challenges and then reaffirms the status quo will always find a willing audience. The key is to identity what is bothering or making the public uneasy and then construct a character or characters and story that will superbly dramatize these concerns.
There are four basic types of story telling that Jean Gabriel excels at:
Jean Gabriel wrote award winning short stories and plays as a child. While obtaining a degree in creative writing/English literature at UCLA, M. Gabriel also obtained a background in Cultural Anthropology. The former education refined the raw talent, and provided the skills and background enabling M. Gabriel to become a writer of stature. The social sciences education allows M. Gabriel to decipher those cultural norms that exist in our modern society and that audiences will respond to.
Jean Gabriel's work is the result of concepts that have been intensively evaluated to demonstrate their market value. There is after all no sense to creating a story no one wants to read. But that is not to say the stories are the result of marketing reports. They come from the heart. They are a result of the passion M. Gabriel feels for and is expressed in the writing. And that is, as we all know, where the best stories come from.
