Kapka Kassabova and Rachida Lamrabet in Brussels
Overview from the ?National Literature? debate in Brussels
When we first heard that the chosen theme for the Brussels leg of the Edinburgh World Writers? Conference was A National Literature?, I have to admit we were slightly nervous about the whole thing. We?d proposed to invite authors from Belgium, Scotland, Wales, England, Ireland and Northern Ireland ? countries where there are so many sensitivities surrounding the word ?nationality? ? and at first, it seemed almost dangerous to let them get on a stage and say whatever they wanted. Perhaps, we thought, it might be better to choose another, ?safer? theme?
As it happens, however, I?m glad we didn?t. We really couldn?t have chosen a more fitting topic to discuss in the heart of Brussels? European quarter. This is a city in which almost 30% of the population are foreign nationals; where the 27 EU nationalities come together every day to work in 23 languages.? It should have been obvious that Brussels was always going to bring a fresh perspective to the National Literature? debate.
Kapka Kassabova kicked off the evening?s discussions with a beautifully delivered key note speech, in which she described that the idea of ?a national literature? gives her a headache. The very notion, she argued, is hard to pin down, linked to a multitude of different questions that are difficult (if not impossible) to answer. In exploring the theme of the evening, our panellists were forced to ask themselves: ?Who am I??; ?What is my home??; ?Who are my people??; ?What does this all mean??
It?s not difficult to see why these questions might have been hard to grapple with. Just like the many members of our audience who had moved from country to country and learned to express themselves in a new language, many of our writers admitted to feeling unsure of exactly how to define themselves. Christopher Meredith and Arthur Riordan, for example, said they know they are regarded as a ?Welsh writer? and an ?Irish writer? respectively, but only feel themselves to be so when they are outside of their home country. Rachida Lamrabet is bilingual and has dual nationality (Moroccan and Belgian), but fears that she can?t be loyal to one national identity without being disloyal to the other. Stella Duffy described having the ?English? or ?British? label stamped on her as a matter of routine, when she?s far more content to be regarded as a Londoner. ?Why,? she asked, ?can all of your life not be your nationhood? Why can?t we simplify things??
In the modern world, characterised by globalisation, accessible travel and information, you would think that readers and critics would welcome our writers? admissions of confusion. After all, everyone agreed that writing and reading the experiences of others can help us to construct our identities, especially in cases of exile (Kundera, Nakobov and Milosz were cited as good examples of this.) Interestingly, though, our panellists felt that readers and publishers were keen to see their work compartmentalised, filed away into neat little drawers marked: ?Irish?, ?English?, ?familiar? or ?foreign? ? any label that would give an indication of whether it fits with an agreed norm and narrative.
From exploring these issues, we got to the root of a growing problem in the literary world today. Whilst the stories of authors have moved on from a mono-faceted ?national literature? in the true sense of the word, readers and critics are struggling to adjust their perceptions to accommodate the change. Stella Duffy gave the example of the ingrained assumption that characters she writes about who live in London are white and middle class, when in reality, the ethnic and socio-economic mix in the city is extremely diverse. Rachida Lamrabet, in the second key note speech of the evening, described her readers? perception that her characters from stories based in Antwerp are ?strange, exotic individuals that have nothing to do with them?, just because they have foreign-sounding names. We seem to have become so obsessed with the idea of ?home? and the ?nation? that we just can?t see past them.
Another problem identified related to this was the prevalence of English in the publishing industry. Everyone agreed that globalisation has imported a power that comes with speaking and writing in the language, but lamented the fact that this means that writing is so often ?lost in translation? or even worse, just not read at all. The point was driven home beautifully when Gearoid MacLochlainn took the floor to read his poem, Aistri?ch?in, and everyone looked slightly uneasy. There he was, exotic-sounding Irish words tripping off his tongue, and almost no-one had the faintest idea what he was talking about. Of course, we expected a translation and we got one, but it was full of reproach for making him turn the ?red wine? of his native tongue into ?Coca Cola.?
In her introductory remarks to the conference, Kapka Kassabova stressed the importance of ensuring that the theme of A National Literature? is always punctuated with a question mark, and I think this was particularly appropriate given the many questions it raised in Brussels. Two hours just didn?t seem to be long enough to figure out what the word ?national? meant, never mind whether there?s such a thing as a literature related to it. Roland Gulliver, the conference chair, had the unenviable task of trying to rein everyone in and bring the event to some kind of conclusion, but everyone seemed reluctant to end the debate. In fact, it continued for hours afterwards at our conference reception, and it was only when our venue, the Goethe Institute, was closing that we had to lay the subject to rest, at least for the remainder of the evening. After all, it was quarter to eleven and most of us had work in the morning.
I was all ready to go home, phone poised in my hand to call a taxi, when I noticed some of our writers and audience members trickling across the road from the venue, all seeming to be heading in the same direction. Undeterred by the fact that the conference was over for the night, they were heading to continue the discussions elsewhere.? Work or not work in the morning, it would have been rude not to join them?

The big news about the 2013 Montclair Film Festival (April 29 ? May 5) is that it?s bigger and better, with more than 80 films and events, nearly doubling in size from last year?s premiere event and featuring over 100 special guests including Darlene Love (Twenty Feet From Stardom); Lake Bell (In a World?), plus in-depth live conversations with Ice-T, Alex Gibney and yes, Michael Moore.
Artistic director Thom Powers shared some of the hot tickets for this year?s festival, including the opening night event Twenty Feet From Stardom, a film about backup singers behind some of the greatest musical legends of all time (Director Morgan Neville and Darlene Love will be Opening Night?s special guests) that had Sundance buzzing, as well as the closing night selection of Concussion, about a suburban lesbian mom seeking new thrills, directed by Montclair resident Stacie Passon. Powers calls Concussion, ?a funny, sexy, provocative film that will save marriages ? and maybe break up a few!?
The festival Centerpiece on May 4 is In a World?, a comedy about movie-trailer voice-over artists, with writer/director/star Lake Bell in person. Rapper and TV star (?Law and Order SVU?) Ice-T will appear at a screening of the documentary he produced, Iceberg Slim: Portrait of a Pimp on May 4 and at an ?In Conversation? event on May 5. All four films are making their New Jersey premieres.
Two other ?In Conversation? events round out the program on May 5. The New York Times? David Carr and acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side; We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks) discuss ?Getting the Story,? and Michael Moore leads a discussion with other filmmakers on ?Dangerous Docs.?
?We set out to curate a festival that is unique to this community,? says Powers. ?Montclair and northern New Jersey are home to many media professionals from the fields of news, music, comedy and family entertainment. We?re fortunate to tap accomplished locals to participate and have them as an influential audience.?
Powers wil give film enthusiasts the back story on this year?s festival tonight at Montclair Art Museum?s Free First Thursday event, with a behind the scenes of how the films are selected.
Other highlights of this year?s festival include:

All the directors will be in person for their screenings. Additionally, Fall to Grace focuses on New Jersey?s ex-Governor Jim McGreevey as he attempts to become an Episcopal minister. That screening will be followed by an extended conversation with McGreevey and director Alexandra Pelosi interviewed by New York Times reporter Kate Zernike.

Los Angeles City Council members Wednesday expressed fury at recent revelations that arsenic emissions from a battery-recycling plant in nearby Vernon pose a danger to as many as 110,000 people, and called upon the city attorney to look into possible legal action.
"I'm outraged. I'm appalled," said Councilman Jose Huizar, who represents Boyle Heights and chairs the council's committee on the environment. The committee had summoned officials from the South Coast Air Quality Management District to a hearing on the risks posed by Exide Technologies.
Last month, the air district announced that Exide, one of the largest battery recyclers in the world, posed a higher cancer risk to more people than any of more than 450 facilities the agency has regulated in Southern California in the last 25 years.The air district told the company to reduce its emissions and hold public meetings to inform people living in Huntington Park, Maywood, Boyle Heights and other areas of the risk. Those meetings will take place later this spring.
But council members also want Los Angeles city staff to produce a report within 30 days about what, if any, steps the city might take against the company or regulators of the facility.
"This is not our jurisdiction, but we have legal recourse," Huizar said. In an interview, he added that the city has sued state agencies in other cases, "and we're prepared to do the same."
As a father raising four children in Boyle Heights, he said, he is very concerned about the cumulative effects from industrial pollution.
Exide officials did not attend the hearing. A spokeswoman said they had not been told about it. But company officials said they have been working to reduce emissions since learning of the problem and last weekend installed a door on the entrance of a furnace. Tests over the next few weeks will show whether that has controlled emissions and what additional improvements may be required.
"Exide has really worked hard to protect people in the community," said spokeswoman Mary McCormick. "They have really gone out of their way to make sure that everything and anything is being done."
The 15-acre plant, which melts down up to 40,000 batteries a day, has been operating in Vernon since 1922. Exide purchased it in 2000, officials said.
For much of the last decade, health concerns at the plant have centered on lead, a primary component in batteries.
In 2007, elevated levels of lead were detected in the air around the plant. That resulted in a series of enforcement actions, including an unusual 2008 order from the air district that Exide cut its production in half until lead emissions came under control. The company enclosed parts of the operation and installed negative air pressure systems, and its lead emissions have fallen, officials said.
Lead can cause irreversible nerve and brain damage in children and health problems in adults.
AQMD officials became aware of the surprisingly high levels of arsenic emissions from Exide in late 2010. It took two years to figure out where in the plant they were coming from and quantify the risk to people and the environment. A study was completed earlier this year. It found emissions had elevated the cancer risk such that approximately 156 cases per million people could be expected to develop among workers in the industrial area near the plant. Risk calculations assume exposure over decades.
For residents living in adjacent areas, that risk is about 22 per million, according to air district officials.
The air district requires public notification when the cancer risk exceeds 10 per million.
Since 1987, when a program to regulate toxic emissions went into effect, only about 20 facilities in Southern California have reported cancer risks from emissions that were greater than 25 per million.
The company has 180 days to come up with a plan to fix the problem, and three years to implement it. However, Mohsen Nazemi, the air district's deputy executive officer, told council members that officials intend to see that the problem is fixed much sooner.
"We do not get these type of risks very often," Nazemi said.

Not content with a gazillion Galaxy phone sales, Samsung is hoping to continue winning the smartphone war in one of the biggest battlegrounds any manufacturer can face: retail. The Korean OEM has partnered with Best Buy to bring its Experience Shops to the big box retailer nationwide -- 1,400 of them by early summer (with 900 launching this month), to be precise. So what does Sammy hope to achieve? In addition to the standard shopping setup, the company wants to give customers the ability to actually use its products and get a first-hand feel of what they have to offer: phones, accessories, Smart TVs and tablets will be on display. Each shop will be manned by Samsung-employed consultants as well as specially trained Best Buy employees. This appears to be Samsung's way of offering a thorough retail experience without actually launching its very own stores across the country. It'll be interesting to see if it will be a more effective retail alternative to what companies like Apple and Microsoft have adopted, but Samsung sure seems quite optimistic about its chances. Find the press release below for the full experience.
