By Navid Kermani
„Wer sich selbst und andere kennt, Wird auch hier erkennen: Orient und Okzident, Sind nicht mehr zu trennen.“ Navid Kermani nimmt Goethes berühmten Vers beim Wort. Er liest den Koran als poetischen textual content, öffnet die östliche Literatur für westliche Leser, entdeckt die mystische size in den Werken Goethes und Kleists und erschließt die politische Bedeutung des Theaters von Shakespeare über Lessing bis Brecht. Der identify Navid Kermani steht für eine literarische Weltläufigkeit, die ihre Gegner kennt: Das sind alle, die Religionen und Kulturen mit Gewalt voneinander abschotten, sie gegeneinander ausspielen wollen. Die persönliche Aneignung der Klassiker verleiht seinen Texten jene aktuelle Brisanz, die Weltliteratur noch dort ausmacht, wo sie von den privatesten Gefühlen erzählt. Denn um Liebe geht es Zwischen Koran und Kafka selbstverständlich auch.
