24.11.2023 SprachROHR Nr. 40 – Interview with Daniel Schmid

The X-Mas issue of our district Rohr is out with a very crissy interview I held with Daniel Schmid, musical director of the Aargauer Kantorei (Cantorium of the Swiss Canton Aargau). He regularly performs in Germany and Czech Republic. On page 41 you can read the interview or directly via the QR-Code below:

20.10.23 In Memoriam of Gerardo Ceres

It’s an indescribably feeling to have heard about the passing of Gerardo. Years ago he helped me in the Italian adaption of „Die Papierfabrik“ (The Paper Factory). The Italian magazine La Sorgente – for which I regularly write some reviews – asked me to write about the course of things… how we met and how we worked together over a distance of 1000 miles…I pay respect to his dear ones by expressing my condolences.

4.8.23 Buch-Premiere „Aarauer Kurzgeschichten“

It took several months to celebrate the launch of the anthology „Aarauer Kurzgeschichten“ (Shortstories of Aarau) at the Canton library in Aarau managed by Pino Dietiker and Alexander Estis, both members of the Literarische Aarau. Some of the authors had the pleasure to read out of the book and a special performance was Andrey Fedorchenko’s one in russian language.

The event was well visited and some of the authors were there too. The anthology is in german language and will not be traduced.

20 Years of Writing!

Yes, today it’s 20 years of my literary journey, which started in February 2003 in Buenos Aires during my writing holiday at my aunt Anna’s home.

Life works in a very misterious way, little I knew what would come up when I was walking around the neighborhood and crossing a guy called Ignacio De las Muas by accident, he greeted me and said he’s never seen my face before in the surroundings? I told him, I was hosted by Anna, writing down a book as a family document and he said, he was living just three houses away and being a publicist of the journal «El Barrio de Pueyrredon», we should get in touch with an interview, so he throw me on the front page with an additional report…I was not sure to laugh or cry about! In the same week I’ve been invited by Tim Cappelman for an interview to the «Argentinisches Tageblatt», a german journal founded by the Swiss Alemann family with an edition of 250’000 copies. This was the beginning of a beautiful journey and at the same a roller coaster. I turned back home and in May 2003 «Die Papierfabrik» was published. 

Since then I held many readings in various countries, interviews for many magazines and journals or newspapers, Radio-Talks and TV-appearances, among them a theater scenic reading, workshops for new beginners in writing a book or at schools, round tables, even a road movie directed by myself. There were co-productions, collaborations with other authors or correcting/overproofing their works.

I met wonderful people (some rude ones too, not naming names!) and I can count on a very gorgeous network all over Europe, States, South-America, Australia and Africa as well.

As I wrote at the beginning, it was until now a huge journey and at the same time a roller coaster, my writing carreer has its ups and downs. My journey goes on, actually engaged as a member of two editional staffs. And of course there are some other challenging projects, which I would like to see realized!

Writing takes a lot of time!

4.3.2023 SprachROHR Nr. 38 – Interview with Marcello Wernli

So, finally I contributed my first interview for the magazine of our district – which appears three times a year. My interview partner is Marcello, a very close friend of mine for almost thirty years. Twelve years ago he decided to leave Switzerland and to live on the Island of Mallorca. The interview can be read online at page 27 in German language www.stadtteilverein-rohr.ch
