I have published a translation of Walter Benjamin's "Dream Kitsch" ("Traumkitsch"). This essay deals, inter alia, with the Surrealists’ stance towards kitsch.

Do you need a text or a translation?

I work with texts. I write fiction, essays and journalistic articles. I have a personal focus on translating texts from English into German and from German into English. I grew up bilingually and have over twenty years of experience in translating literature and other types of text. I want my translations to be of an excellent quality and to read well. They should sound as if a native speaker had written them and should be easy to understand in both German and English (target languages). I also copy edit texts with the aim of teasing out the as-yet-unformed text from the manuscript, like a sculptor carves a statue from a block of stone. If you are interested, please contact me. Please also contact me if you wish to comment on the texts published on this website.
