Welcome to our community for readers and writers of fiction!

The Matterhorn began as an investigation of internationalism and interdisciplinary interests related to my research, travels, and observations. It then evolved into podcast conversations and discussions of how to layer stories with ideas, culture, places, and texts. These areas have long been inspirational for my fiction writing, and in the ensuing seasons, it has become the forefront of my newsletter publication. 

📚 FICTION — Fiction writing is where I play with the ideas in my mind, from research to experience, imagination to ethics, and the in-between of many layers the world has to offer, the nuances of truth. You can find serialized fiction (An Interpreter in Vienna & A Hong Kong Story), excerpts from novels, and short-form work on The Matterhorn.

✍🏽 WORD SKETCHES — a written sketch: a play with language & ideas

☕️ THE BRUNCH — A figurative flat white or fizzy to pause with, any time of day. Ideas about writing, reading, internationalism, and culture.
