Fra LiteraturHaus' program:

Short Story Compositions
26-03-2009 klokken 20.00
Er det ikke på tide, at LiteraturHaus arrangerer en aften, hvor kortprosa og musik går hånd i hånd og er lige stærkt til stede. Det er idéen bag en ny serie; Short Story Compositions. Du vil komme til at høre to af den unge jazzscenes stærke kort; Anders Banke på saxofon/klarinet og Mark Solborg på guitar. De har ved tidligere lejligheder givet forfattere modspil her på stedet. I aften spiller de op til Pia Juul og Merete Pryds Helle. Pia Juul læser bl.a. novellen ”Elverdams Å” fra samlingen ”Dengang med Hunden”(Tiderne Skifter 2005). Merete Pryds Helle læser novellen ”Pels” fra samlingen ”Ti Fingre fra eller til” (Forlaget Rosinante 2003). Am Abendkasse gibt es Kopien von ”Pelz” in deutscher Übersetzung für eventuelle deutschsprachige Zuhörere. Entré 50,-

LATIN

Mrs. McWillie never scared us into grammar, of course. It was my first-year Latin teacher in high school who made me discover I'd fallen in love with it. It took Latin to thrust me into bona fide alliance with words in their true meaning. Learning Latin (once I was free of Caesar) fed my love for words upon words, words in continuation and modification, and the beautiful, sober, accretion of a sentence. I could see the achieved sentence finally standing there, as real, intact and built to stay as the Mississippi State Capitol at the top of my street, where I could walk through it on my way to school and hear underfoot the echo of its marble floor, and over me the bell of its rotunda.
