Writing can feel like an endless series of decisions. How does one face the blank page? Move a character around a room? Deal with time? Undertake revision? The good and bad news is that in fiction writing, there are no definitive answers to such questions: writers must come up with their own.

In A Long Game, she shares insights gleaned along the way.

Irene Vallejo hebt in ihren leichtfüßigen, strahlend prägnanten Kolumnen den Schatz an Lebenskunst, den die Antike noch heute für uns birgt.

Wie nebenbei lernt man Mythen, Personen und ihre Geschichten kennen und bekommt wunderbare Impulse für das eigene Leben.

“Why do you write?” the organizer of a literary event in Mexico City asks Miriam Toews. Each attempted answer from Toews—all of them unsatisfactory to the organizer—surfaces new layers of grief, guilt, and futility connected to her sister’s suicide. She has been keeping up, she realizes, a decades-old internal correspondence, filling a silence she barely understands. And we, her listeners, come to see that the question is as impossible to answer as deciding whether to live life as a comedy or a tragedy.

From those who own the news to the BBC, the intricacies of political journalism to the trade's ethics, Breaking strips back the engine of information, entertainment and propaganda back to its constituent parts and lays it bare.

Attached to the European Theater of Operations (ETO), Olson followed the Allied Forces as they pushed the Nazis back into Germany. He typed up his reports and cabled them to his editors in New York.

Obligatorischer Absatz: Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm.
