Beskrivelse

Born in Ankara in 1961, Zafer Senocak has lived in Germany since 1970. Over the years, he has become a leading voice in the German discussions on multiculturalism and national identity. His volume of essays Atlas of the Tropical Germany is currently included on the American Association of University Professors list of books to further our understanding of issues surrounding 9/11.

Between 1996 and 2000, Senocak was writer-in-residence at four US universities and was a featured author at the 2007 PEN World Festival in New York City. Door Languages contains material from four of Senocak's recent German collections.

"His Story"

when there were no secret parts

writing was devised on a woman's body

no part left undescribed

men and their dirty fingers

mixed up one character with the other

until the letters couldn't be read

they had never gotten around to reading

they became doubters of script

looking for the lost language

burned all books short of their own body

out of the ashes fashioned their dream dame

veiled it deep black

are illiterates still
