Gregor von Rezzori

Gregor von Rezzori was born in 1914 in Chernivtsi in the Bukovina, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now part of Ukraine. In an extraordinarily peripatetic life von Rezzori was succesively an Austro-Hungarian, Romanian and Soviet citizen and then, following a period of being stateless, an Austrian citizen.

The great theme of his work was the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual world in which he grew up and which the wars and ideologies of the twentieth century destroyed. His major works include The Death of My Brother Abel, Memoirs of an Anti-Semite and his autobiographical masterpiece The Snows of Yesteryear.

He died in his home in Donnini, Italy in 1998.

Ignacy Karpowicz

Born 1976, prose-writer, traveler, translator; he made his debut with the novel Uncool (2006), and then published another novel, The Miracle (2007), and a collection of impressions from his journeys around Ethiopia, The Emperor’s New Flower (and Bees) (2007); which was nominated for the POLITYKA Passport; he lives (mainly) in Warsaw.

The first part of Ignacy Karpowicz’s debut novel, Uncool, might seem to suggest that we have here another young prose-writer seeking to describe the various miseries of the provincial life, as the author brings us young and frustrated residents of Białystok who have difficulty making ends meet. But the second part of the novel clearly leans toward unhinged, no-holds-barred grotesque, in which the writer opens th

Klara Hveberg

Growing up among the fjords and mountains of Western Norway, Klara Hveberg loved to fill her pockets with sparkling stones from the beach. She played the violin, wrote poems and enjoyed juggling. As the world of literature seemed too scary, she sought refuge in the realm of mathematics, ending up with a doctoral degree in fractal geometry, perhaps the branch of mathematics closest in beauty to the visual arts.

When health problems forced her to quit her job as a research mathematician at the University of Oslo, she once again sought refuge – but this time in her love of writing. Unexpectedly, fractal geometry helped her compose a novel of love and loneliness saturated with poetry, music, painting, mathematics – and juggling. It tells the ta

Tahar Djaout

From Wikipedia: Tahar Djaout was an Algerian journalist, poet, and fiction writer. He was assassinated by the Armed Islamic Group because of his support of secularism and opposition to what he considered fanaticism. He was attacked on May 26, 1993, as he was leaving his home in Bainem, Algeria. He died on June 2, after lying in a coma for a week. One of his attackers professed that he was murdered because he "wielded a fearsome pen that could have an effect on Islamic sectors." He was born in Azeffoun, in the relatively secular Kabylie region. After his death the BBC made a documentary about him entitled 'Shooting the Writer', introduced by Salman Rushdie.
