The seminar will present and discuss one of the most prominent, prolific and controversial writers in contemporary Russia, Vladimir Sorokin (b. 1955). Focus will be on his many languages, in particular on his use of “unprintable”, obscene language, which caused his novel Blue Lard (1999) to become the first novel subjected to an obscenity trial in post-Soviet Russia, and on his incorporation of Chinese (and pseudo-Chinese) words in several texts, rendering them almost unreadable.

Janina Katz (1939-2013)

For et par dage siden døde Janina Katz, sørgerligt. Må jeg ikke i den anledning anbefale at man (gen)læser den besynderlige - hvis det er ordet, måske snarere: i dansk litteratur sjældne og særprægede - roman Længsel på bestilling. Og digtene selvfølgelig. Og de her klummer så klart!
