I have published on Heinrich Böll, Rolf Dieter Brinkmann, Rainald Goetz, German horror film, and old-school rap. I am also one of the translators of Alexander Kluge’s Kong’s Finest Hour. Currently, I am working on a monograph on German horror cinema after 1945 and a translation of Oskar Negt’s writings.
