The Freudian Couch

Welcome to The Freudian Couch. I write about the books I read, pen stories I imagine, and record thoughts that linger.

I’ve been doing this since 2009. Sometimes weekly, sometimes yearly, always when something demands to be written. If you’re looking for hot takes or productivity hacks, this isn’t the place. But if you want thoughtful book reviews that actually engage with the text, stories that take their time, or personal essays that portray a person with weak opinions weakly held, you might find something here.

Some favorites from the archives:

If you like or dislike anything I write, let me know through comments or through social media.
