July 2005Dichter in New York. Poeta en Nueva York
Gedichte
by Federico García Lorca, Martin Koppenfels, Martin Koppenfels
Als »Lyrik zum Die-Pulsadern-Aufschneiden« bezeichnete Federico García Lorca (1898–1936) die Gedichte, die er 1930 aus New York und Havanna mit nach Hause brachte, deren Drucklegung (1940) er jedoch nicht mehr erlebte. Wo unsere Landkarten New York verzeichnen, liegt in Wirklichkeit eine andere Stadt. Es gibt nur einen Zugang zu ihr – García Lorcas Gedichte.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2016Lexicon of Intimate Cities
by Yurii Andrukhovych
"Lexicon of Intimate Cities" is the biggest novel of Yuriy Andruhovych so far. A tireless traveler across Ukraine, Europe, and America, the author tells us 111 stories about 111 cities with which he was lucky enough to experience happy and not so happy, but always intimate, in the broadest sense of the word, moments.Arranged in the alphabetical order according to the geographical names of the locations, these diverse texts – from essays and short stories to prose poems together form an autobiographical atlas of the writer's world. In addition, each "lexical" adventure is clearly inscribed in time space coordinates, which allows the reader to follow the author in 111 private-historical leaps from the mid-60s of the last century to the present day.It is hardly worth expecting objective characteristics of Kyiv and Lviv, Moscow and Warsaw, New York and Yenakiyiv from this atlas, this extremely subjective "manual of geopoetics and cosmopolitics". But you can definitely find more artistically important things in it: the atmosphere, mood, images, smells and tastes of favorite cities and places, as they were imprinted in the author's memory. As well as momentary observations and deeper reflections, lyricism and sadness, irony and sarcasm - that is, everything that makes our communication with the world to resemble true intimacy.

FictionJuly 2023The Clockwork Testament or: Enderby's End
By Anthony Burgess
by Ákos Farkas, Anthony Burgess
First published in 1974, this novel is a semi-autobiographical reflection on the author's experience of having been the subject of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange in 1971. This is the end of Enderby, Anthony Burgess's finest comic creation. Dyspeptic and obese, this is the account of his last day as a visiting professor in New York, and his last day on Earth. The Irwell Edition of The Clockwork Testament will provide new information about the genesis of the novel, gleaned from a series of drafts and typescripts recently discovered in the archive of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation (IABF) in Manchester, as well as printing a deleted chapter for the first time in English.
