About me

I am an author, journalist, translator, and professor with nearly three decades of professional experience across literature, media, and academia. My work spans essays, poetry, and translation, engaging with themes of philosophy, history, politics, and society, informed by a background in languages, literature, and European studies. A selection of my previously published texts is currently being revised and developed into four forthcoming book-length volumes.

Three Decades of Expertise in Writing, Translation, and Journalism

Four-Volume Collection of Complete Works
Currently in preparation: a comprehensive four-volume set presenting the author’s complete works, organized into Short Stories, Poetry, Scholarly Articles, and Translations. Each volume highlights a distinct facet of the author’s literary and intellectual output, from imaginative fiction and lyrical poetry to critical essays and cross-cultural translations.
