Writing

A pen practiced in many voices, I write for audio and print. I write as myself, sometimes with irreverence, sometimes as an academic, but almost always with incisive humor. I also write as others, ghostwriting for podcasts, print publications and more. Lastly, I translate, from novels and short stories to presentations and articles.

Cultural Criticism

Litfuck.com – My blog! Even if you’re not working while watching, what you’re watching is working on you. At LitFuck, I take all the analytic claws of my PhD training and sink them into fluffy pop-culture darlings, so that you too can be a more excited, more outraged and more engaged consumer of media.
