My academic work focuses on the literary history of swooning and on contemporary fiction, especially in relation to depictions of the environment and the body. My fiction explores, amongst other things, weird landscapes, concentric objects, compulsive fainting, pregnancy, skin, crocuses, environmental contamination. ![]()
