Part 1 Let’s back up a bit. When did you move to the US? I came to this country in 1952, having left Germany at age 17. My 18th birthday I celebrated on the boat a week before landing in New York. I had just graduated from High School. This was in February, and in [...]

I first encountered Yuriy Tarnawsky‘s writing in 1998, when I stumbled across a copy of Three Blondes and Death (FC2, 1993) in a Philadelphia bookstore.

Like Céline or Gertrude Stein, Jameson’s fiction works if the language works and the language works so the work works. [...]
