This painting formed part of the 2003 MDSE exhibition 'Belasteste (W)orte, belastete Landschaften' ('Loaded words, troubled spaces') at the Metalllabor in Bitterfeld

Transcript's usual focus is on literature from Europe, but we are extremely pleased to welcome the two American writers joining this special issue on forbidden and forbidding words.

Read on to discover how Angie Cruz reclaims the bomb with a little help from la bomba in Bomb, and join Emily Raboteau in The Tragicomic Mulatto as she attempts to board a flight to Israel in the era of homeland security.
