        by Dieulermesson Petit Frère

        A statement on otherness, a song of love and sincerity, Poème pour une petite fille à l’autre bout du monde is an invitation into the intimate sphere of the poet. It is the figuration of the paternal real brought to its highest point. A father and a little girl meet somewhere, at the other end of a street or a railway station, to talk about friendship, life and their regrets, to take stock of all their failed acts and to give each other reasons to love each other, despite the distance, the disarray and the madness that can arise from absence.

        Roman

        by Shashi Tharoor, Peter Knecht

        Seine Laufbahn scheint klar vorgezeichnet zu sein. Doch der junge Ashok Banjara, Sohn des Ministers für Textilproduktion, entzieht sich dem Lebensplan, den seine Eltern für ihn entworfen haben. Anstatt nach dem Besuch der Elite-Universität wie sein Vater die politische Laufbahn einzuschlagen, versucht er, seinen Traum vom großen Leinwandstar zu verwirklichen. Und tatsächlich: Während sich eine solche Idee normalerweise schnell erledigt, eröffnet sich Ashok trotz seiner offenkundigen Talentlosigkeit eine Traumkarriere als Bollywood- Star. Ashok dreht einen Erfolgsfilm nach dem anderen, und immer spielt er den jungen, aufrechten Kämpfer für das Gute. Dem Kinopublikum, das zwischen Rolle und Person nicht unterscheidet, gilt er als moralische Instanz. Sein Privatleben sieht hingegen weniger glänzend aus. Seine Frau, die Schauspielerin Maya, die für die ganze Nation das Ideal der Reinheit und Unschuld verkörpert, leidet unter den zahllosen Affären Ashoks, dessen größte Sorge darin besteht, sein Schwarzgeld sicher auf einem Schweizer Nummernkonto zu verwahren. Aus einer Laune heraus steigt er in die Politik ein, kandidiert für einen Parlamentssitz. Doch als er in einen Parteispendenskandal verwickelt wird, ist sein positives Image dahin. Er taugt gerade noch für eine Rolle in einem religiösen Monumentalfilm, in dem es um die Zerstörung der Welt durch den göttlichen Willen geht. Bei den Dreharbeiten kommt es, wie im Film selbst, zu einer Brandkatastrophe, und plötzlich steht Ashok wieder im Rampenlicht. Vom Aufstieg und Fall eines Filmhelden mit großen Ambitionen und zweifelhafter Moral erzählt Shashi Tharoor in diesem tragikomischen Roman über das Showgeschäft: Alles ist inszeniert, Drehbuch und Wirklichkeit gehen nahtlos ineinander über. Eine groteske Maskerade von Verführung und Intrige zwischen Macht und Privilegien, Politik und Medien – die Mega-Filmindustrie Bombays (»Bollywood«) als Metapher für die moderne Gesellschaft.
