Literature Days Solothurn 30.5. – 1.6.2014

It’s always a great pleasure to be there and there’s a special feeling in the air when you are wandering around this beautiful baroque town. This time I was busy to promote my new book and as well my whole work of a decade and was delighted to see again familiar faces.

Solothurner Literaturtage 14 (15)

It was lovely to see again Franco Supino. In the past
we worked together in another project. Franco’s essay
„Solothurn liegt am Meer“ (Solothurn is on the beach)
is a nice slogan to the literature days of Solothurn, which
is located close to the river Aare

Solothurner Literaturtage 14 (25)
During my marathon, I’ve foundt time to visit
Stefano Benni’s reading out of his last two novels
„Pantera“ and „Di tutte le ricchezze“. Stefano is in
Italy a well-known author. He writes as well theatre
scripts as articles for the three leading news-papers
„Panorama“, „La Repubblica“ & „Il Manifesto“

First PR-Tweet

The local newspaper „Periodico El barrio“ will publish on 5th January 2014 an interview with me led through the director Marcelo Benini.

This monthly newspaper was the beginning of „Die Papierfabrik“ in February 2003, as I met along the street in the quarter the journalist Ignacio, who was fervid interested to write about my story…and the rest you know! Since then this newspaper has always paid tribute to me in my projects. The edition of the newspaper reaches around 60’000 readers in 5 districts of Buenos Aires.

Watch out for my interview, it will be in spanish:

Book varnishing Part two

Vernissage (23)

I decided not to read out of my book, as this is something the reader can do by himself. I told to the guests how the idea of this novel was born and developed over the years.

My editor and proofreader Werner Strähl and I were amused to tell to the guests some amusing points about my written sentences, how they sounded when he read them and called me in the middle of the night „hey Sina, but what the earth do you mean with these words? Please explain me!“.

Or we revealed some secrets around the book (especially the cover), which made laugh a lot the guests. And I was very impressed, as Werner read out of the book with his strong voice…everyone was frightened ;o)

Vernissage (16)

Werner explains to the guests, the rules of a book
coaster and the seed box; that’s producing a book!

Vernissage

Proud of holding my new work in the hands.

Mille grazie, Guerrino/Werner, working with you was
a great pleasure and honour; you gave to my book
perfection and aesthetics.

Thanks to the staff of Panini-Bar for hosting us exquisitely &
you got the best „cioccolata densa“ in town!

Book-Varnishing/Vernissage
