to become a literary translator. I am well on the way there, just need to become more established i guess and make a name for myself. 3 (2 more in the works) of my translations have been published already in the past 2 years. but its a tough business

by extension (this is the part of my dream that is least realistic) i want to become an athor of my own books :') maybe one day

thats true, as a writer / translator myself i strive to one day work on such a great piece of literature. these kinds of books are where literature has been used to its fullest potential

Farenheit 451 I read it at 19 alone on a bike tour that lasted for about a month. it was the only book i had with me for 250’000 km of cycling. i reread it many times. there is this one passage when the protagonist gets asked if he is truly happy. and it made me ask myself the same and it is the first time i really, deeply thought about it. it was the summer before uni and this book made me follow my dream. its still one of the best decisions i have made in my life so far even 6 years later
