Mitt första möte med Emine Sevgi Özdamar

Jag läser "The Bridge of the Golden Horn" av den turkiska författarinnan Emine Sevgi Özdamar. Vi befinner oss i Berlin och det är 60-tal:

" At the Turkish Workers Association only Rain and our communist hostel warden said "I". They went to the cinema together, then they came to the Turkish Workers Association, and Rain said: " I have seen a film, shall I tell you the story, the film is called The Silence, the director is called Ingmar Bergman." Then they both told the story of the film. They began together, but at some point each of the two said: No, it wasn't like that, let me tell how I saw it. They constantly interrupted one another, one stole the film from the other, and so we always saw two different films playing before our eyes. Only at the end, when they were finished with the story of the film, did they say together:" Bergman wants to show us that Europe has eaten shit".

Från sidan 31 "The Bridge of the Golden Horn", Emine Sevgi Özdamar. Utgiven av Serpent's Tail Books.

Jag vill också passa på att påminna om att en svensk översättning av  en annan roman av Özdamar kommer ut på Ràmus förlag under sommaren/hösten. " Sällsamma stjärnor stirrar mot jorden". Den kommer jag verkligen att vilja läsa.

Jag länkar till Petra Rhodins blogg "Ord och jord" för här kan man läsa om ännu en intressant turkisk författarinna- Sema Kaygusuz.
