the narrates is opening words and a cottony codes novel spits vague. they turn out to be misleading, because the book does, in fact, celebrates art painting and the also as to gives the book its title. think if it's vague, has been one of the greatest discoveries of painting for me. there's so much to explore in these works. and because i've always wanted to be a bit of a detective, i discovered a lot more these paintings and is immediately visible as of to a lovely. it says in o quirky bachelor's book. worms. the novel features carry to strace house of the spits. vague universe is all begins with a self portrait made an art class of students about to graduate from high school. what follows an insult, an art highest, and a plan for revenge? complete with a show down in a museum, a cat's nichols characters go on a scavenger hunt, which ought becomes a source of inspiration, a mirror of the soul and a teacher. and continent to the saga. of course,

one could say that the book is about what art can be for people, and how art can also help people master their lives here from come as i'm leaving because aren't always remind you that life is also full of beauty for the shewn. and i think that's one of the great potentials of art potentiality. the const spits leak is the coming of age story. a novel about school and friendship bus above all it champions ops ability to guide a person through life. ready ready ready ready ready oh gosh. ready ready the story takes place out in the countryside, in a village on the keel canal, with lots of greenery and a view of container ships heading out to sea. and in the nearby town, there are many empty business,

suppressed in our culture, v to because it's painful to name, the thing is that we have only partially processed or not processed at all. so been, then, i think it's very much about pain, for man and general. want about being able to feel you said feeling so kind and kimberly's all weaves many narrative lay is around the family story, giving each its own language. the mothers, callousness, outrageous sex states, contemplation of nature and criticism of the patriarchy, writing becomes an almost magical process. the scribe is sliding, is really like, life itself, leaves a terrible and beautiful and everything in between. and that's vision. it's an opportunity to heal all. but it can also open fresh wounds highland about. so we have to think carefully about which sentence as we utter on, and which ones we keep inside isis via going via mean

mean. and another award this year, the peace prize of the german book trade goes to a country that has been living in the russian war progression for months. ah, he never stops. ukrainian writer said he shot on with his scar punk bands, shot uneasily becky jordan and the dogs currently on tour in germany. they've been playing together for nearly 15 years, but never before the stakes been so high. dr. with the sweetness group, daughter, the ability to take part in cultural life to have it be present is something that keeps us connected to life before the war jump. that way you can hang on to things that are important to richard culture as a lifeline. back to normality at

a time when russian president vladimir putin seeks to snuff out the very existence of ukraine, it's fundamental for a people's identity. but that's not all fully. though, martha, our concerts are also charity events. we collect donations to buy things that are urgently needed in the city. those things range from food, medicine, clothing and personal hygiene products for citizens to cars, military outfitting and even drones for the ukrainian troops. zyden is one of ukraine's most popular and radical voices after russia's invasion of ukraine. he stepped up his own efforts, posting regularly on social media. when he's not touring, he's helping wherever he can, and his besieged home city of hard active. often boosting morale with a bit of poetry or a song like here in the hockey, metro, born in ukraine's eastern low huns creegan, john studied in hark,

have taken more seriously. oh, nice. we'll spinny straw western societies still look at everything that happens in eastern europe through a russian lands overseas goes to the east. and so i was glad if we changed perspective and look at ukraine. lithuania, locked via estonia and georgia as sovereign states that can act independently. the picture is completely different, very little, and i hope these events will make the world and make europe change its thinking. how am i done? you will. so the current geopolitical picture can be seen differently up. they may yet cross call us on the surgery moment. his newest book, sky over hot, achieve chronicles the 1st 6 months of the war via his social media posts with arousing refrain. to morrow we wake up another day, closer to our victory so fiercely. it has been a society has the capability to carry on with its cultural lines that's committed to that shows it has enough power. bait and conviction flew out on the studio.
