"So grief is a particular kind of unrequited love." I cannot wait to read Siri Hustvedt's Ghost Stories. I was pushed into the operation theatre for cancer treatment when Paul Auster's passing was announced. Haven't stopped writing since. Sometimes, you don't have to meet your teachers in person.

Die Bundesregierung hat heute eine Aufrüstung gegen Linksextremismus verkündet. Am 27. Januar. Am Holocaust-Gedenktag. Die Vertreter*innen der selbsternannten bürgerlichen Mitte sind so dermassen lost. Die sehen nicht mal, was die Stunde geschlagen hat, wenn die AfD gleich auf mit ihnen liegt.
