Through the Window*

Seventeen Essays about Literature
and one short story
* Always interesting to see how titles vary from country to country. Reading the German "Am Fenster" one could think the book's English title were "At the Window".
Which lets me come to think of John McGahern's "Pornographer" of which the first German edition was "Der Pornograph", but got changed in the second into "Der Liebhaber" (The Lover).
Why? The first edition did not sell. ...

Infected with hystery

Readers choice: unidimensional, almost

One could come to think these are screenshots from tabloids.

Cui bono?
Who does profit?

Anyway, those who have hoarded enough toilet paper are on the safe side.

the story of Dafydd ap Gwilym

16 weeks after I had ordered it
for the third time
and almost given up hope,
Wednesday I could hold it in my hands.
I paid the original price.
It's werth it.

Dafydd ap Gwilym
