About meGlobal Ethics PhD Student at the University of Birmingham, UK. Interested in theories of global justice and cosmopolitan political theory.
'It must be supposed that reading was one of his morbid habits, as he fell upon everything that came into his hands with equal avidity...' (Chekhov, Ward No. 6, 1892)
About my libraryEnjoy most classic fiction, particularly works by French, German and Russian authors.
My favourites are Zola (L'Assommoir), Dumas (Count of Monte Cristo), Balzac (Cousin Bette, The Black Sheep, Old Goriot), Camus (The Plague), Ishiguro (Unconsoled) and all of Kafka, Dostoevsky, Roth, Chekhov, Pelevin, Maupassant, Auster, Hesse, Nabokov and Tolstoy.
I'm also interested in cosmopolitanism, Kantianism, anarchism, and global justice, and my library mostly reflects this.
