Video: Clovis Casali Interviews Breyten Breytenbach on Voice Over, Middleworld and More

December 23rd, 2009 by Ben - Editor

Oorblyfsel/Voice overNotes from the Middle WorldBreyten BreytenbachAlert! Breyten Breytenbach has just appeared on France 24, an English-language news service and press review, to talk about his friend, the late Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, and his two latest books, Oorblyfsel/Voice Over and Notes from the Middle World.

The former work, of course, is explicitly linked to Darwish, being a poetic conversation with, and tribute to, the great writer.

In the interview, Breytenbach discusses his trips to Palestine, and the similarities and differences the situation there has with apartheid.

It’s definitely worth tuning in:
