I'm reading a collection of essays by Paul Auster call the Art of Hunger, which is very good. In particular the essay on Louis Wolfson is fascinating.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Wolfson_(writer)
Louis Wolfson (born 1931 in New York)[1] is an American author who writes in French. Treated for schizophrenia since childhood, he cannot bear hearing or reading his native language. He invented a process which consists of immediately translating every English sentence into a foreign phrase having the same sound and sense. He lived in New York, then in Montreal after his mother's death. Since November 1994 he has lived in Porto Rico where he became a millionaire on 9 April 2003 after winning the jackpot in a lottery game.
