Börsenblatt newspaper interview with Madjid Mohit

The Börsenblatt, a popular trade journal for the German book trade, recently conducted an interesting interview with subject publisher Madjid Mohit. This conversation deals with the challenges for authors in exile and beyond that with the importance of aerial root literature, which brings the positive sides of migration, especially cultural enrichment, into focus.
