hi, someone did mention a little after i joined the list that literary discussions on the list "once in a while" is ok. so...
the norwegian novelist Jostein Gaarder was here in india recently and one of my colleagues had interviewed him. nice interview, reads well and his take on things happens to go well here...within my memory, he is one of the first norwegian novelists to be interviewed here. he is being translated into hindi, *one* of the indian languages, and which i do not know. i am quite tempted to read him in an english translation. perhaps (our) jostein, dag, tim (or anybody else) can throw a little more light on the things he is talking about... here is the epaper version of the article (which retains the layout, fonts and the look and feel of the paper as it is published): http://epaper.thehindu.com/pdf/2006/12/03/20061203L_003101005.jpg and the plain, html, internet version of the interview: http://www.hindu.com/lr/2006/12/03/stories/2006120300130300.htm regards, subash -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
