and it can be argued correctly, if I may add :) he does indeed explore the pathetic...

This is a different Mistral... This is Gabriela, Chilean, not French.

Elizabeth Forster-Nietzsche... The woman who turned Nietzsche's work into Nazi propaganda. Though it is actually not suprising to see her nominated (Sweden has a lot to uncover in regards its flirtation with Nazism), it's sad that she was the only woman to be nominated. Weren't there other ...

So, guys... I have just been interviewed by Brown University. Fingers crossed! I think it went well but Americans are quite hard to read... They are always so nice and friendly... They did mention a possibility of a second interview (on campus, so they'll fly me out there if I go through)...

I think he was the best short-story writer in Poland... A great loss :/

Of this kind, yes. And soon it will be my own (single-author book)... But more on that in a few weeks :) Anyway, Listopad is an interesting writer. He wrote chronicles and short pieces in Portuguese and poems in Czech. Well worth a read.

We'll have 4 if necessary due to the number of votes. Otherwise next year we can have 5 and so on and so forth... I mean, even the Nobel gets the same names year in year out. I think the rule of not being able to nominate the candidate in consecutive years guarantees freshness. AND it would be...

I wish I was based in Portugal... to be fair, I am keeping an eye out for oportunities in Portugal too... and in the rest of Europe. I wouldn't even mind moving back to the UK (even though it's a nightmare at the moment)... But hey, the field I am in is... rather small....
