• February 2016

John Koenig voli pronalaziti riječi kojima izražavamo neizrecive svoje osjećaje -- poput "lachesisma", gladi za propašću, ili "sondera", uviđanja da su i životi svih drugih kompleksni i nespoznatljivi poput našega. Koenig promišlja značenja koja pridajemo riječima i kako nas ta značenja određuju.
