In an interview with Bledi Strakoshën on the show "With Bledin", Alban Dudushi talked, among other things, about the two books that have strongly influenced him, especially in the adolescent period.
"There are two books that my teens have opened my head in, so to speak. The first is 'Thirst for Life'. I do not know how this book censorship passed in '87 -'88 where I was only 15 years old. It was a biographical book for Vincent van Gogh. Of course he was one of those artists called bourgeois, decadent, or knowing what. However that book was published. All that will of this character who believed in his talent and had the world against, all the conflict the artist has with the reality for me was the first blow, "Dudushi first said to the book" Thirst for Life ", which was written by the American writer Irving Stone in 1934 (the original title: Lust for Life).
He further mentioned the book "German Hour" by German writer Siegfried Lenz.
"Even that book has been shocking. At that time we began to think politically and that book talks about the tension between the main character and the father, who was a cop in a province in the Hitler era. This tension between a man who has the sense of duty and does not logic about his system and his son who was anti-conformist. All this conflict father and son at that time [shocked me a lot]. My dad was also an officer and his duty was the axis of his life. "
