Why I Write

Apart from my academic work I have been writing my entire life. With this website I want to share with you some of my thoughts about culture, politics, and literally anything else. And, yes, some of these thoughts come in poems and stories. I hope you enjoy!

Außerhalb meiner akademischen Arbeit habe ich schon mein ganzes Leben lang “mitgeschrieben”. Auf dieser Webseite will ich einige meiner Gedanken über Kultur, Politik und “dies und das” mit der Öffentlichkeit – mit Euch und Ihnen! – teilen. Ach ja, und einige dieser Gedanken kommen in Form von Gedichten und Geschichten. Ich hoffe, es gefällt euch hier!
