Emilia David intervista Norman Manea
No full textIl volume, che include l'intervista concessa da N. Manea a E. David, raccoglie gli atti della giornata di studi organizzata in occasione della presenza in Italia dello scrittore Norman Manea, ospite dell'Università di Padova e dell’Istituto Romeno di Cultura e Ricerca Umanistica di Venezia, dal 13 al 19 settembre 2017. Manea è uno dei grandi nomi dell’esilio culturale romeno, nonché uno dei più noti e celebrati scrittori europei. Sopravvissuto alla persecuzione nazifascista e alla dittatura comunista di Ceaușescu, nel 1986 ha scelto definitivamente l’esilio e oggi vive a New York, dove ha insegnato letteratura e cultura europea al Bard College. Ha ottenuto numerosi riconoscimenti, tra cui il Premio Nonino (2002), il National Jewish Book Award (1993), Il Premio Letterario FIL - Premio della Fiera Internazionale del libro di Guadalajara (FIL) in lingue romanze (2016) ed è stato appoggiato nella corsa al Nobel per la letteratura da scrittori come Heinrich Böll, Philip Roth e Orhan Pamuk. Durante l’incontro padovano, introdotto da Caludio Magris, e al quale è intervenuta anche l'intervistatrice (si veda la pubblicazione "La quinta impossibilità: le avversità della scrittura e dell’identità", presente su ARPI), sono stati approfonditi i rapporti tra letteratura ed esilio ed è stato presentato il suo ultimo volume uscito in Italia per i tipi del Saggiatore, intitolato "Il Corriere dell'Est, Conversazioni con Edward Kanterian", traduzione di Anita Bernacchia (Il Saggiatore, Milano, 2017). L'intervista concessa dallo scrittore a E. David è dedicata agli stessi temi

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society
