Denis Ferhatović

Denis Ferhatović’s life lies somewhere between Borgesian plot and Nabokovian humor; Second-World pedagogic ideals and First-World problems; Old Norse grammatical paradigms and Modern Icelandic mashed-potato recipes; Cher and k. d. lang; hedonism and obsessiveness; khinkali and laghman. Someone ran into him at a conference-hotel bar once, and seeing his name tag, said, “I know you. You write stuff.”
