Brief Bio.  

"Marjorie Kanter´s work is fresh, ironic, and impregnated with a subtle humor and sensitivity. Her free style of writing captures events and personal experiences of real life in different cultural and geographical environments. She plays with words, grammar, mixes languages, and uses other techniques to give the right tone to her short literary pieces. Reading this book is a unique experience."
"I write because of my need for dialogue, for interaction with myself and with others, to take distance, to gain perspective and to understand different points of view. I can always learn something new, make a variation, expand or condense, take away or add."

Purchase: I Displace the air as I walk from the publisher La Espiral Escrita, Booksurge and Amazon, in Madrid at Pasajes, c/Génova 3 and in Paris at Shakespeare&Co, 37 rue de la Bucherie.
