Welcome readers, film buffs, writers, artists, students, teachers...thinkers!

The Matterhorn investigates the intersections of literature and art across times, cultures, mediums, and genres. Each week, I look at a new topic through several texts with the aim to gain a better understanding of ourselves and our world.

Why subscribe?

Anybody who enjoys making connections through the arts and learning from literature is welcome to join us. As a subscriber, you will receive all of my posts and be able to join in our discussion threads as a community member.

Besides the weekly investigated topic, I send you additional ideas about internationalism, writing, and reading as well as personal observations and ideas from guests.  You can subscribe to the newsletter for free, but for the cost of a coffee a month, you can help this project to grow. Our paid subscribers keep my content ad-free and allow everyone to access the writing and discussions. With the launch of my Yoga & Writing workshops in September, they will also receive discounts.

Thank you for joining us!

About me

I write novels and research culture through the arts. I taught literature, cultural studies, the arts, ethics, and epistemology for 20 years and have a PhD in Comparative Literature (as well as degrees in English, Art History, Literary & Cultural Studies, and Education). I’m a specialist at putting texts together to form ideas rather than one particular area of research. Having lived in seven countries has added to the way I am able to investigate the arts from an international perspective. However, it’s also made me more aware of what I don’t know…which is a ton. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey here with you.
