July 2024Darwyne
Thriller
by Colin Niel, Thomas Wörtche, Anne Thomas
In Bois Sec, einem kleinen, elenden Slum im Amazonasgebiet von Französisch-Guayana, lebt der zehnjährige Darwyne mit seiner Mutter Yolanda. Yolanda ist schön, stark und klug. Darwyne ist klein, ein wenig körperlich beeinträchtigt und meistens schmutzig. Er möchte so sehr von seiner Mutter geliebt werden, sie aber hält ihn für ein Monster. Sieben ihrer Liebhaber sind bis jetzt spurlos im Dschungel verschwunden. Ein achter, Jhonson, taucht gerade auf. Auch er bekommt keinen Draht zu Darwyne. Im Gegensatz zu Mathurine, einer Sozialarbeiterin, die versteht, dass Darwyne eine besondere Beziehung zur Natur hat, anscheinend mit den Tieren und den Pflanzen kommunizieren kann und dass er in der Tat »anders« ist, irgendetwas zwischen den Spezies. Und ihr drängt sich mit der Zeit der Verdacht auf, dass Darwyne womöglich mit dem Verschwinden der ersten sieben Lover etwas zu tun hat. Nach einem dramatischen Erdrutsch, der den Slum vernichtet, fliehen Yolanda und Jhonson ‒ ausgerechnet in den Dschungel ...

Winner of the 2018 Sheikh Zayed Book Award for Young Author
by Ahmad Al Qarmalawi

Devouring Himself, Starting with His Feet
by Abdallah Al-Zioud
Despite its small size, it managed to take its place among the best modern literature books in recent years. From the title and cover, going through its amazing preface and eloquent language, and to the element of surprise and unexpected ending. Abdallah Al-Zioud was able to make the reading journey of this novel a meaningful journey despite its shortness; a journey introduces readers to new terms that manipulate their imaginations and puts them in the eye of the event through a visual language that conveys the reader from paper to the visual world of the novel. It teaches them some of writing tricks and simplifies what seems complicated at the beginning so that the reader believes in its ordinary before discovering that he has fallen victim to fraud.I can say that the most beautiful thing about this novel is that it was not written in a style and did not follow a context. it rebelled against the ordinary, uniquified in style, and combined simplicity and complexity in a way predicting an amazing ability and counted in its writer favor.

Tumbledown is a little demolition truck growing up in a loving family. His parents go to work every day demolishing buildings with their big wrecking balls.

September 2001Hellblau
Roman
by Thomas Meinecke
Tillmann verbringt den Sommer in North Carolina. Ein Hurrikan zieht auf. Ein Leuchtturm wird verschoben. Auf dem Meeresboden ruhende Kriegsschiffe bilden die Kulisse für Tauchgänge. Ein hellblauer Badeanzug, ein westafrikanisches Gewand, in Form gebrachte Augenbrauen. Reagan besucht Bitburg.

Abschiebungen von Asylbewerbern, Streit um die Entschädigung von NS-Zwangsarbeitern, schwarze Aliens. Chicago, Detroit, Mannheim, Berlin, Krakau. Das ist der Kosmos des neuen Meinecke.Nachdem der Autor in The Church of John F.

Was ist ein Europäer, Afrikaner, Amerikaner, der jüdische Mann? Welche Folgen hat der transatlantische Sklavenhandel für die heutige Technomusik? Was – überhaupt – kann eine Technoplatte erzählen? Und wie politisch ist das? Inwiefern kann die Sängerin Dana International als ehemaliger Junge den Staat Israel beim Grand Prix de la Chanson repräsentieren? Und welche Farbe hat eigentlich Mariah Carey? Tillmann und seine Freundinnen Yolanda und Cordula tauschen E-Mails, Faxe, Platten und Bücher aus.

Biography & True StoriesJanuary 2014Beyond Writing
by Ibrahim Abdelmeguid
One of Egypt’s leading literary voices offers a first-hand look at political, social, cultural events of the last 40 years and how they influenced his writing. Ibrahim Abdelmeguid, called “the quintessential writer about Alexandria” by The National newspaper, looks back over his decades-long writing career this book, which what he calls a “literary autobiography.” In it, he reflects on the social, political, and cultural influences in Egypt and elsewhere that have shaped him as a writer. He shares his views on major political events, such as the 1967 defeat after the Six-Day War, and explanations of their profound impact on his personal life and works of fiction. Abdelmeguid devotes a portion of his work to discussing the development of his views on Egypt’s second president, Gamal Abdel Nasser, over the course of his turbulent tenure in office. The book is divided into a brief introduction and four chapters. Abdelmeguid guides the reader through his literary career, moving masterfully between the factual and the meditative. He explores how each of his novels and many of his short stories was conceived. He also describes cultural, political, and social contexts in which his writing evolved and was received by literary critics and casual readers. He spends considerable time describing the creative process behind his Alexandria trilogy— No One Sleeps in Alexandria, Birds of Amber, and Clouds Over Alexandria. The first book, No One Sleeps in Alexandria, is set during World War II. Abdelmeguid visited numerous key sites in Alexandria and surrounding areas and read every newspaper he could get his hands on. The result of his devotion to research is a vibrant portrayal of Alexandria that shines throughout the epic novel. Of particular note is his successful communication of the cultural and religious diversity of the city and the impact of that on the promotion of a culture of tolerance. Beyond Writing is a rare and important addition to the modern Arabic literary map. Few Arab authors are willing to so transparently share their writing process, preferring to highlight the polished final product while concealing the hard work that brought it into existence. Readers are lucky that it is a writer as prominent, thoughtful, and engaging as Abdelmeguid is willing to draw back the curtain.

Band 4: Späte Romane
by Juan Carlos Onetti, Jürgen Dormagen, Gerhard Poppenberg, Anneliese Botond, Jürgen Dormagen, Rudolf Wittkopf
Juan Carlos Onetti ist der große Solitär in der modernen lateinamerikanischen Literatur, einer der maßgeblichen Schriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts, ein Autor von künstlerischer, ästhetischer und moralischer Kompromisslosigkeit. In seinen letzten Romanen steigt Onetti tief hinab in den Schacht seiner Erfahrung des Lebens – aber wie unterschiedlich ist das, was er als Erzähler schreibend hervorholt: vier Romane, ›reife‹ und ›späte‹, die verschiedener nicht sein könnten und die in je eigener Form und Sprache eine besondere Geschichte erzählen. Der Tod und das Mädchen gehört zu den kleinen Meisterwerken der Weltliteratur. Es ist die Chronik eines angekündigten und perfide geplanten natürlichen Todes. Mit der Intensität von Kammermusik, auf dichtestem Raum, erzählt Onetti hier eine rätselhafte, unergründliche Geschichte. Lassen wir den Wind sprechen, ein Roman, der den Autor fast drei Jahrzehnte lang beschäftigt hat, schickt den als Maler und Liebhaber dilettierenden Kommissar Medina in die Zerreißprobe der Existenz, radikal zweifelnd, abgründig komisch. »Onettis Kunst ist wie Wetterleuchten, das über der epischen Landschaft Momente düsterer Schönheit zaubert. Erschreckend, oft unbegreiflich und doch seltsam beflügelnd«, hieß es in der NZZ über dieses Buch. Wenn damals evoziert die geheimnisvolle Gestalt einer Frau, Magda, einer legendären Figur des Nachtlebens von Buenos Aires. Es ist der ruppig-sehnende Tonfall des Tangos, der diesen gelöstesten Roman Onettis prägt. In Wenn es nicht mehr wichtig ist kommt Carr, ein mit Gleichmut Gescheiterter, mit einer absurden Aufgabe in einen grell ausgeleuchteten Randbereich von Schmuggel, Lebensbeharrung und ätzender Selbstbefragung. Seine Aufzeichnungen zeigen ihn als ein ironisch verzeichnetes Alter Ego des Autors. Das letzte Werk Onettis, ein Jahr vor seinem Tod erschienen, ist ein später, lakonischer Bogenschlag zu seinem atmosphärisch so ganz anderen Erstling Der Schacht. In gründlich revidierten Übersetzungen und
