"Exile is the land of in-between" [Ilija Trojanow].
What happens to writing when home and familiar surroundings are suddenly out of reach? Taqi Akhlaqi, Alhierd Bacharevič, und Stella Nyanzi were all forced into exile for political reasons. In this conversation, they speak about searching for stability and of exploring longing and loss through literature.
What challenges – and what creative possibilities – does life in exile bring to their writing?
