Robab Moheb skriver om sitt andra språk svenska: "Mitt största lidande är valet av nominalböjningar, bisatser av olika slag och ibland småpropositioner, när jag talar tyst. När jag talar högt är det väl satsmelodin som vänder blickarna utåt. Egensinnigt och hänsynslöst. I så måtto som allt jag säger förblir osagt. Men när jag skriver blir "det ett annat Jag" förnimbart. Ett jag som behöver en jourläkare, ett tillämpat korrektur som inte lämnar...

This document is part of a logbook and traces ...

All these and other strands ...

Tell the truth till it hurts." - Daniel Curzon "This lucid and chatty book is perceptive, wry, and penetrating to the last drop of bile." - Robert Patrick "Angry, bitter, with chips on both shoulders, Daniel Curzon is also ferociously honest and very funny." - Ian Young "He has been everywhere, he has met everyone, and now that he has your attention, he is going to let you know exactly what he has been thinking about them all these years. The ...

In fact, it was at that time in Toronto that he had a chance encounter with Irving Layton, nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1981 (the prize that year ...

GEA, von dem Deutsch/Iranischen Dichter Sam Vaseghi, stellt eine einzigartige poetische Reise dar. Ein poetischer Impuls der Naturelemente bildet ein magnetisches Feld in dem unsere archaischen Glaubens¬metaphern poetisch ernsthaft in Frage gestellt werden. Vaseghi denkt und träumt in Farsi doch schreibt in Deutsch. Also handelt es sich nicht um eine unmittelbare und authentische Übersetzung seines Originaltextes in Farsi. Das Phänomen d...
