Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung/FAZ, 07.09.2026:
Slovenia was the guest of honour at the 2023 Frankfurt Book Fair. In 2026, Germany will be the focus of the 42nd Slovenian Book Fair. But how does a Slovenian poet and translator from German go about her work? Why poetry, of all things? Is poetry difficult – or does language here simply resonate in ‘a rhythm you have to go along with’? How is a poem created? A ‘bird’ or ‘pigeon’ text? And how does one adapt literature into another language?
A feature on the internationally successful author, translator, bookseller and publisher Anja Zag Golob: following conversations and research at the ‘Mariborka’ bookshop in Maribor, covering poetry, children’s and young adult literature, comics and graphic novels, international collaborations, awards and everyday life.
