Mecca ColaRichard Letterman
Being an international man of danger such as myself doesn’t necessarily mean cobra venom and monkey eyes at every meal. No, occasionally I get those rare forbidden fruits straight out of Arabian Nights that no average white man gets to experience, such as “prunes” and “yogurt”. Don’t be embarrassed if you find yourself baffled or unable to pronounce these delicacies, it’s not your fault you’re just an ignorant rube. Recently, while shopping for prunes and yogurt at the local Turkish market, I came across the infamous and mysterious Mecca Cola. 4 februari 2005
Witness to the DevilPeter Breedveld
Craig Thompson (1975, US) is the author of the most raved about graphic novel of the past two years, Blankets, translated in Dutch as Een Deken van Sneeuw. Six hundred pages long, Blankets is touching, funny, exciting, melancholic, smart, slapsticky, shamelessly sentimentalistic at times and really, really beautifully drawn. Last summer I spoke to Thompson, who was touring Europe and had just returned from a trip to Morocco. |
