Typo in the title?
Nah.
It's just that I would not let a tiny T spoil an avantgardistic alliteration.

And this months a book with some of her very latest essays got published in German:
Nicht einmal das Schweigen gehört uns noch.
It won't come as a surprise that in Turkey these essays 'do not exist'.
It seems in English they have not (yet) been published, but in French:
Le silence même n'est plus à toi (Lettres turques.

On the Road ... whereto?
Fascism raises its right arm. Franco would be very pleased with his successors' ruth- and shamelessness. Oh, and by the way: If I were a Catalan, I had voted 'No'. Nationalism is Fascism's little brother. |

Word verification
Sorry. Word verification enabled, for a change.
Hopefully not for long.
Don't like it, but less I like getting 60 spams within a few minutes.

The Tale of Wealth and Misery
Das Märchen von Reichtum und Not
Es war einmal Bruder und Schwester:
Der Reichtum und die Not.
Er schwelgte in tausend Genüssen,
sie hatte kaum trocken Brot.
Die Schwester diente beim Bruder
viel hundert Jahre lang;
ihn rührt' es nicht, wenn sie weinte,
noch wenn sie ihr Leiden besang.
Er fluchte und trat sie mit Füßen,
er schlug ihr ins sanfte Gesicht;
sie fiel auf die Erde und flehte:
Hilfst du, o Gott! mir nicht?
Wie wird das Lied wohl enden?
Das ist ein traurig Lied!
Ich will's nicht weiter hören,
wenn nichts für die Schwester geschieht!
Das ist das Ende vom Liede
vom Reichtum und von der Not:
An einem schönen Morgen
schlug sie ihren Bruder tot.
