Writers in Other Cities

May 2012

Mauritian writer Nathacha Appanah joins Etgar Keret and Wojciech Jagielski in writing from cities not their own.

Peshawar

By Wojciech Jagielski

Leaving Peshawar to enter Afghanistan brought anxiety. Leaving Afghanistan brought joy and homesickness.

Translated from Polish by Antonia Lloyd-Jones

Ludwig and I Kill Hitler for No Reason (or, A Berlin Springtime)

“Adolf, it’s you, I didn’t recognize you at first without the ridiculous mustache.”

Translated from Hebrew by Miriam Shlesinger

By Nathacha Appanah

Slowly, as we made our way up to the village, the air became crystal clear, rid itself of the city’s impurities, and we, too, shed our masks.

Translated from French by Geoffrey Strachan
