Yahia Lababidi

    Yahia Lababidi ist ein ägyptisch-amerikanischer Denker und Dichter, dessen Werk oft Genregrenzen überschreitet. Seine Poesie und Essays, die sich von vielfältigen Einflüssen von Rumi bis Kafka inspirieren lassen, werden für ihre schlichte, aber dennoch glänzende Diktion gelobt. Er erforscht häufig das Leben des Geistes und seine Verbindung zur modernen Ära, wobei sein Schreiben in Zeiten spiritueller Umwälzungen Anklang findet. Er wird als Meister der alten Aphorismenform anerkannt, dessen kurze Meditationen als bedeutende Beiträge zur zeitgenössischen Literatur gelten.
