A cahier?

Hallo! Every few months or so, I will send out a dispatch on Queer/LGBTQ culture, with an emphasis on lesbians in film, literature, music, etc.

You can expect:

Link round-ups, my own amateur illustrations, movie recommendations, fragments of ideas, frustrations with writers I love or want to love, devotion to certain artists and movie stars.

Topics I may very likely indulge:

Patricia Highsmith; Lesbians in Cars; Tove Jansson; trashy movies; female vampires; Marguerite Yourcenar, Fleur Jaeggy, and Sarah Schulman; Nuns; depictions of women’s prisons in film and literature; Romy Schneider; chimaera; The Trouser Role in opera; Exploitation Art; discussions of Acceptability and Respectability Politics; etc!

About me:

I studied French and Russian in Vienna, Austria, and now live in New York City. For more info, visit my website.
