FeuilletonFrankfurt writes about the book presentation of 'One Week, One Life'

The FeuilletonFrankfurt is closed for the book launch on April 20th, 2022 Nassir Djafari's 'One Week, One Life' reported. The event took place in the “Fabrik” in Sachsenhausen and was musically by Roman Kuperschmidt and vocally by Ulrich Noller and Stephane Bittoun accompanied. Petra Kammann wrote about the atmosphere of the evening:

Heinz Oelfabrik, a building from the last third of the 19th century, when mineral oil still promised a future, indicate that something new will soon be created at this apparent lost place. […] You can also drink and eat here during the reading (before and after) to which Nassiar Djafari was invited, so that this alone creates a relaxed and familiar atmosphere within the audience. The interaction and feeling of togetherness then also determined the book presentation itself. No sacred silence before the powerful words of an author, as is the case with some water glass readings.

An interview worth reading that makes you think: Here is a small excerpt from the interview: Your book says: Whenever “world literature” is mentioned somewhere, for example in university lectures or on lists of the best, it is mostly about Western literature: European and Anglo-Saxon books. Perhaps some of you are also wondering: Is it enough? Why do we absolutely have to read Arabic literature, for example? what do you say
