Teodora Lalova: Too much of a good thing is a bad thing

Since I moved abroad, home has stopped being tied to a location, to a tight and simple definition. To be fair, I am not sure if it ever was like that for me, even simply by virtue of having family history in several parts of my native Bulgaria. At the moment, home feels like the place/moment where I love and am loved, where I can be vulnerable, where I can do what I enjoy doing and what I find purpose in (both professionally and personally).

“A beauty not yet visible to our eyes”: A Dialogue with Franca Mancinelli

The Butterfly Cemetery is a composite book, which collects more than ten years of writing. It is an unexpected book, which took shape all of a sudden, thanks to this long time period. The same thing happened to me as a child when I would play with butterflies: I would make a tomb of white stones for one butterfly, then another tomb. . . and suddenly I realized that I had put together a small cemetery. It is a special book because it was born first in English.

I write as I think, as I live. I think my novels are all completely different, but you can find me in each of them.

Interview with Christos Chartomatsidis by Irina Papancheva

Some writers have influenced my worldview and approach to life, such as the classics – Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Kazantzakis, Zola, Radichkov. From others I have learnt the craft – Gogol, Vazov with his “Uncles”. Lately, I am more and more admiring Dumas, the father, who is an unbeatable master of plot. We know him best for “The Three Musketeers” and “The Count of Monte Cristo”, while he has written a series

Entretien avec Joumana Haddad au Liban !

Au sujet de l’érotisme, Joumana Haddad dit manifester beaucoup d’intérêt pour ce sujet. Elle a lu de nombreux ouvrages érotiques tels que le Marquis de Sade et possède même une grande bibliothèque érotique chez elle. Au moment où elle décide de créer une revue, elle se dit qu’il serait intéressant de se pencher sur la question du corps, d’où l’appellation de sa revue « Jasad » qui signifie « corps », pour avant tout réfléchir ensemble sur ces questions et non pas les résoudre,

INTERVIEW WITH BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

Why are you a poet? I have always loved playing around with words. I didn’t know it was called poetry. I was just an innocent kid messing around with words when an adult said ‘You’re a poet, be published or be damned’. What poets do you admire? Poets I like are Shelley, KRS-One, Carol Ann Duffy, Jean Breeze, Spike Milligan and the greatest living poet in the world, Tony Harrison. What inspires you? Freedom fighters like Marcus Garvey, Tony Benn, Nelson Mandela,
