I'm a writer and student living in Berlin. I graduated my BA in Modern Literatures in Naples with a nice thesis on why Robert Musil's "Törleß" sucks which nobody read and I'm leisurely working on a MA in Comparative Literature at Freie Universität. When I'm doing research, I'm interested in critical temporality theory, autotheory and queer temporalities, though I don't do much of that nowadays. I like to write about queer pockets of time, genderbending Rilke, pilgrimages of all kind, but mostly towards the end of the world, and the uncanny resemblance of St. Wilgefortis to Jesus Christ. I tend to write about myself as well. I am the Turmgesellschaft's sworn enemy and a friend to Mignon.

The goals I have for this year are: getting to know more zine people, especially here in Berlin; practice making more zines; developing an eye for visuals and design; do more collaborative work (hit me up if you'd like to!); get on the path to finishing my master, the last remaining, squalid link to the zionism-ridden FU; work on a long-form essay on "All of Us Strangers"; finish some of the drafts I have for the blog; work again on "Tales for Pilgrims", my first novel, as well as its prequel, "storia di tommaso"; learn how to bike...

I am a student of the constructed queer language damiá and its language community. Here is a short presentation in damiá:
