You have a look at Ihsan Abbas. The Arabic tells you he translated Theocritus, Virgil, Sidney's Arcadia, Wordsworth, Shelley. The French tells you he translated Theocritus, Virgil and Shelley. The Arabic tell you he translated Moby-Dick.

Perhaps you can imagine being at the point where it can go either way, sitting in a room in Berlin, when the phone rings. At the other end of the phone is a man who can't imagine being at the point where it can go either way.

so the reader never sees what you see, only sees you seeing how you see what you see, it's a verr cinematic way of writing, you love that European awareness of the work of art as a work of art, it's the quintessential European novel).

So imagine the book of an alter Tolkien, creating desire for the language of the Middle East rather than Middle-earth. Readers who were 13 in 1973 would have been 31 at the time of the Gulf War, 41 in 2001.

It's dangerous to utter sentences that may be taken to express propositions having a truth value. The man in the street does not keep up with the twists and turns of philosophical logic. Don't give him a rope to hang you with.

„The Peloponnesian Straits are what the earth gives to the water, and Crete what the water gives to the earth.
I do think that the Peloponnese has the most beautiful shape. It's the shape of a great maternal hand, not a human one,
that is dipping into the water

You know you're just blaming the victim. You' re a romantic at heart.
You want writers to be rebels, revolutionaries, you want them to break the machine or be broken.
