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!
