Présentation A Short Border Handbook Format Broché
- Livre
Résumé : An exhilarating and blackly comical exploration of immigration from an Albanian who grew up in a totalitarian madhouse, longing for Greece, where he found more absurdities?and who eventually settled in the United States Kapllani treats the absurdities of nationalism in the Balkans?and everywhere?with mischief, wit and insight. ?Independent
One of this book's pleasures is the author's honesty, but one of its shocks is that it exposes an everyman's struggle for dignity. We think of walls and borders as something either in the past or in the Middle East. Kapllani brings borders closer to home. ?Guardian
A telling reminder of how the borders that many of us are lucky enough to regard as bureaucratic inconvenience often form unimpeachable barriers and of how the way they are policed can be ruthless and absurd. ?Irish Times
As a student of borders, I was fascinated by this meditation by a wise Albanian of what it means to be an immigrant. With great insight, through his personal story, Kapllani has enabled us far better to understand and enter into this overwhelming problem of our times. ?Peter Stansky, author of Edward Upward, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University
Biographie:
Gazmend Kapllani, the author of three books, teaches creative writing and European history at Emerson College and was previously a fellow at Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute and a writer-in-residence at Wellesley College. He has held talks at numerous colleges and universities including the University of Michigan, Columbia University, Brown University, Harvard University, Dartmouth College, Wellesley College, and Bennington College. Born in 1967 in Albania, he crossed the mountainous border into Greece illegally, on foot, in 1991. In Greece he worked as a builder, a cook, and a kiosk attendant while earning a doctorate at Athens University. For more than ten years he was a columnist for the leading Greek daily Ta Nea. A Short Border Handbook, written in Greek, was a bestseller in Greece and translated into several languages. In 2017 it received the prestigious Italy's Letterature dal Fronte (Literature from the Borders) Prize of Cassino, Italy, dedicated to Greek literature for the year. Kapllani's other books include the novels My Name is Europe (2010, Greece; 2013, France) and The Last Page (2012, Greece; 2015, France). He is currently working on a novel in Albanian and a short story collection in English.
