124th birth anniversary of #ÖdönvonHorváth,playwright and novelist. My @TheTLS piece on von Horváth's portrayal of 1930s fascism,violence towards women, corruption, media propaganda, stupidity. Sounds familiar? https://t.co/4ctx47Drjw @schaubuhne #ÖdönvonHorváthGesellschaft

#Kraków in fiction set before #Poland's EU accession and the tourist explosion. ‘The tenderness and acuity of Hopkin’s vision is absolutely unique. This is a beautiful and moving novel.’ – #OlgaTokarczuk #WinterUnderWater #Zatopionazima Award-winning story #EventheCrowsSayKraków

@BBCMOTD another ridiculous Var decision brings the game into disrepute. It's a clear penalty,DeLigt twice pulling Young's shirt in the box.Var is supposed to correct clear errors not make them.all involved should be suspended pending an inquiry.Simply, they are cheating the fans.

Gdańsk writer,#PawełHuelle(10.9.57–27.11.23).For @NewStatesman I reviewed #MercedesBenz, #Castorp(about Castorp's life before #TheMagicMountain.)a darkly humorous book,a brilliant addition to the Polish'genre' of sanatorium lit and a precursor of #OlgaTokarczuk's #TheEmpusium.

#InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfViolenceAgainstWomen,remembering my friend the painter&writer,#SarahHaffner,who in1975worked on aTV doc about violence to women,then wrote ''Gewalt in der Ehe und was Frauen dagegen tun'' which led to funding the first women'sshelter in #Berlin

art scene in #Berlin faces 11.6% cut in state funding. One of the city's most innovative theatres @schaubuehne said it faces insolvency by end of '25 if the cuts go ahead. Is Berlin losing its voice? (Register an email to read for free.) #BerlinistKultur https://t.co/JW3kWtM3DK
