Origin Unknown by Oliver Rohe

Origin Unknown by Oliver Rohe

A word-crazed monologue in the mind of a man flying to his war-torn native country for the first time in years, "Without Origin" explores the ways a family, homeland, friendship, or even a favorite author, can come to overwhelm one's individuality.

Oliver Rohe was born in 1972 of a German father and an Armenian mother from Lebanon. His many years abroad have left him with a certain taste for exile. As a student in Paris, he touched on a variety of disciplines (Law, Modern Languages, International Studies) before choosing journalism. In 2001-2002, he was the chief editor of the book section of the magazine Chronic'Art, where he meet Jerome Schmidt, Maxime Berree, and Benoit Maurer. They brought together various publishing houses, Editions imho, e(r)e, and Inculte, in order to create the eponymous bimonthly journal Inculte in September 2004. Oliver Rohe is also the author of Defaut d'origine (Allia, 2003). Jane Kuntz has translated Everyday Life and The Power of Flies by Lydie Salvayre, Hotel Crystal by Olivier Rolin, Pigeon Post by Dumitru Tsepeneag, and Hoppla! 1 2 3 and Making a Novel by Gerard Gavarry, all of which are available from Dalkey Archive Press. Oliver Rohe was born in 1972 to a German father and an Armenian mother from Lebanon. He is a novelist and critic, and a founding member of the literary review Inculte. His novel Vacant Lot was published in an English translation by Laird Hunt in 2010.
