Ich berichte hier von illusorischen Bibliothek totgeborener, totgeschwiegener oder scheintoter Bücher, die im Keimen oder Erscheinen begriffen waren zu der Zeit, als ich anfing ins Caféhaus zu gehen. Ich berichte von dem Schrifttum eines untergegangenen Kulturreiches.


Walter Mehring

Although erotica authors are being targeted, this is an issue that should concern all indie authors.

Mark Coker

I've been quoting the book [on Peter Sutcliffe] constantly in rehearsals. Some members of the cast have stated their disapproval that it should even have been written. Some of the women have expressed more - disgust and anger. What are they saying? They'd prefer not to know, not to understand? They'd prefer certain areas of life to be censored? Isn't that partly what breeds the Sutcliffes and the Nilsens?


Antony Sher
