[edit] About Me

my name is emily zilch; you can also call me nahid sefri. i live in the people's republic of cambridge & i attended harvard college and 北大. i am a linguist and a writer, though not an author. i've had one book published, but since it is a travel guide i won't mention it further.

[edit] Interests

i've studied many languages a little, but unfortunately few of them with any depth. i've got a magpie mind: i collect what glitters.

my interests are wide-ranging, and include (in no special order) zoroastrianism; farsi; the ancient near east; afrasian, indo-european & sino-tibetan lingustics and historical movements; the bon religion; queer & genderqueer issues; islam; women's rights; and science fiction.

if i had to pick favoured fiction authors, i'd stick c.j. cherryh's scifi series in there (but not her fantasy - ugh), le guin, and the divine joanna russ.

i also like visual fun: studio ghibli's films, battlestar galactica (redone), the l-word and carnivàle jump to mind.

that's all now. go on, write something somewhere.
