The Jungle Book & The House of Literature

Yesterday, I attended a lecture held by Henrik Langeland about american literature. He talked about famous and important writers like David Foster Wallace, Joan Didion and Dave Eggers. I sure was inspired to read Infinite Jest, which is written by Foster Wallece, who died recently.

Toaday I attended a Workshop with the famous dancer Adil (he won the contest "So you thick you can dance?" in 2006). He told the class about the long and difficult process it has been to become what he his today. His father didn't aknowledge Adil's ambitions and therefore Adil went ttough a difficult time trying to reach his goals. It was a mesmerizing and emotional talk...

Adil plays Mowgli in the "Jungle Book", which we attended as "guests of honor"...
