from "I Can't Stand Still": An Interview with Jáchym Topol


from “I Can’t Stand Still”: An Interview with Jáchym Topol
Weiss: What was your first time out of the country?
Topol: My first time was in East Germany with my mom. She took my brother and me to the seaside there. That change all of a sudden by the sea in the GDR instead of in Poříčí
1 as usual happened thanks to my mother s coworkers. Apparently they explained that you re supposed to go away on vacation with your kids. That ended the era of staying at home or with our grandma. Vacations at home equaled reading. Walks and reading and some food here and there. In Germany my brother and me got caught in a storm on a lake where we swam. Even though we weren t supposed to be able to rent a boat, we somehow managed to take one out, and suddenly we were living a scene from one of our favorite adventure books ropes of water slashing down, branches flying all over the place, us clinging to the oars convinced that anything could happen. Meanwhile our mom of course wa ....

The City and the Writer: In Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, with Ali Al Ameri

If each city is like a game of chess, the day when I have learned the rules, I shall finally possess my empire, even if I shall never succeed in knowing all the cities it contains.
Italo Calvino,
Can you describe the mood of Sharjah as you feel/see it?
I am deeply connected to the tempo and pulse of the city, where the rhythms of the sea, desert, and urbanity create a diversity of life and culture. Residents from all continents can be found here. There is a myriad of cultural and artistic events, namely the Book Fair, the Biennial of Arts, the Children s Reading Festival, Theatre Days, the Festival of Lights, Heritage Days, and the Arab Poetry Festival. The name of the city stems from its location in the far east of the UAE, which is associated with sunrise. Archaeological excavations indicate the existence of an ancient civilization dating back t ....

A Woman in Jerusalem by A. B. Yehoshua


A Woman in Jerusalem by A. B. Yehoshua
Harcourt, 2006
He had now devoted three whole days to this woman, laboring faithfully on her behalf after giving his impulsive word to make her anonymous death his business. This short sentence (p. 143) could stand on its own as a capsule of a human story, very much like Hemingway s famous: For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn. It is packed with meanings and contradictions, both personal and universal. It not only summarizes the plot of
A Woman in Jerusalem, but, more importantly, captures the private conflict of our protagonist as well as the larger one of the world he lives in, a world where devotion and faith clash with the world of business, and where faiths do battle in the streets. In a world where the bottom line is paramount and taking a stand entails dangers of its own, can a man (Father, Husband, Son, Brother) afford to devote three whole days to this woman (Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister) and to labor on her be ....

At Home in Exile: An Interview with Shimon Ballas


At Home in Exile: An Interview with Shimon Ballas
This interview appeared in slightly different form in
Keys to the Garden: New Israeli Writing, edited and translated by Ammiel Alcalay (San Francisco: City Lights, 1996).
Ammiel Alcalay: Starting with education, practically and in a wider sense, how were you formed as a writer?
Shimon Ballas: One has to go very far back, to early childhood. I was always attracted to writing. I connected it to stories told at home and I used to try and write them down for myself. I was always a little reticent to show them to anyone; I was scared of criticism. I was also very drawn to reading. In comparison to my friends at school, though, I actually read less. They swallowed books; I did too, but I would think about them and contemplate things more, I would write notes. By the third or fourth grade we read a lot of translations from French. Adventure stories, Arsene Lupin, Alexander Dumas. And also things like ....
