About me

Hi there! I’m a passionate Literature PhD student specializing in American literature, with a particular focus on David Vann and traumatic writing. My academic journey is deeply intertwined with my interests in psychology, nature, mythology, and the connection between mind and body.

This blog is my little corner of the internet where I share my discoveries, insights, and reflections on literature. I enjoy crossing my analyses with philosophical, linguistic, and psychological perspectives, aiming to present you with rich and multifaceted reading recommendations, summaries, and book analyses.

My goal is to inspire you to read more and find deeper joy in every page you turn. The analyses I share here will reflect my personal take on things, and I hope they resonate with you, inspiring you to further develop your own analyses and deepen your reading pleasure.

It's important to me to make literature a lively subject, connecting it with other aspects of life. I believe literature is a wonderful spice that makes life tastier. The insights we gain from reading connect us more intimately to ourselves and others, allowing us to appreciate the complexities of life that make it richer and more poetic.

Join me on this literary journey, and let’s dive into the world of books together!

Happy reading!
