This website serves as a hub for my work. My blog includes shorter writings and translations (for the latter, see the blog's translation index). Links to my longer essays, articles, and translations can be found on the publications page; most can be downloaded in PDF form from the links provided there, or from my Academia.edu page. To purchase my self-published books of translations, follow the link to the Undusted Texts Translations page on Amazon; more details about each book can be found on the individual product pages or at my blog.
