Our literary travels are just beginning. First stops to be revealed soon.
Welcome to the heart of Beneath the Ink.
While the newsletter is like a travel route — giving you a sense of where my journey is taking me —this space is built for you, to take your own route in your own pace.
Think of it as your personal travel guide to stories set in specific parts of the world, tales rooted in different eras, or books that explore certain themes.
To help you navigate, I’ve created several ways to explore the reading recommendations from the newsletter:
- By Map: Discover stories pinned to places around the globe. Perfect if you’re drawn to a particular country or region.
- By Timeline: Trace books through the ages, from ancient history to the modern day.
- By Theme: Follow the threads that matter most to you — from identity and belonging to political power, cultural memory, and beyond.
These books are part of my personal (reading) history — and in the newsletter, I share more about why I chose them and what thoughts accompanied me along the way. I’ve humbly linked those reflections here, too.
Books invite us to step into another world and look upon it with new eyes. So take your time to explore. I hope you find something that resonates with you. Let the stories pull you in.
And if you’d like to journey along with me more closely, I’d love to have you.
