Editorial<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a time when our editorial team is split between Lisbon and Berlin, which for an internet magazine, really isn\u2019t as much of a hindrance as it might seem, it is perhaps fitting to quote Pessoa who once wrote: \u201cLiterature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.\u201d And perhaps just this once, we should disagree with the titan of melancholy. We\u2019ve compiled literature not just to soothe, to quiet disquiet and to act as a balm in a fraught, anxious world but also to inspire in times of civil unrest. The underlying ethos of stadtsprachen magazin<\/em> has always been to celebrate the diversity of this city, to lay bare the underlying connections between all the various facets and lingual threads in Berlin.<\/p>\n

In this,\u00a0stadtsprachen magazin<\/em>\u2019s 14th issue, we showcase 26 authors, 8 translators and their literary texts in 11 different languages. Among these texts, you’ll find prose, poetry and non-fiction from many of our stadtsprachen favourites, as well as a fair few fresh voices, who are making their stadtsprachen debut. In addition, we’d like to make special mention to the contributions by Eugene Ostashevsky and Yoko Tawada, giants of the Berlin literary scene, who have composed two wonderful texts especially for this new edition.<\/p>\n
