Autorenporträt

My interest in literature was gradually shaped throughout my life by all the various ways in which I have experienced languages: as a student, translator, and as a teacher. However, it was the times spent living in Iraq and later in India that made me fully understand that language can be a means of conveying much more than just our thoughts.
