Read Frank´s first Literary Conference Call, an innovative dialog bringing writers and readers into direct contact. Story writer Thomas E. Kennedy in Copenhagen engages in a lively exchange with novelist Duff Brenna in San Diego, moderated in Paris by Frank Editor David Applefield.

Unusually exciting work in the In Other Words section of the issue, including a telegram from James Baldwin, an interview with Alpha Konaré, the president of Mali, work from Turkey´s most controversial painter/author Bedri Baykam, and the ideas of Bogdan Korczowski, Krakow artist living in Paris´s 20th arrondissement. Plus lots of compelling poems. A new one by poet laureate Billy Collins. Frank´s Foreign Dossier features Switzerland, a land in which the writing of four distinct languages converge in surprising ways. Our interview with Ruth Dreifuss, the Swiss Minister of Culture, introduces the country´s unique talent in very candid terms. 105 pages of many of Switzerland´s finest writers. A visual feast too. Frank 18.
