# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Octave Henri Marie Mirbeau was born on 16 February 1848 and spent his career working across forms — novels, art criticism, travel writing, pamphlets, journalism, plays. He became a celebrity across Europe by writing transgressive fiction that explored the darker currents of human behavior without flinching. The work found readers in both popular and experimental circles, a balance few writers strike. He died on his birthday in 1917, sixty-nine years to the day after he was born. His books have since been translated into thirty languages.
