Reading & discussion | Moderation: Ralph Kirsten (LiteraturRat MV)
With playful acumen, Adam Soboczynski helps us to understand ourselves as well as this strange Eastern Europe. He tells of his youth in the Bonn Republic and his adulthood in the Berlin Republic, of the great freedom between 1989 and 2022, and how it is in danger of being lost - in both parts of Europe. In the East it is threatened from outside, in the West by internal struggles.
A personal look at an era of freedom in both Eastern and Western Europe. Brilliantly told.
Adam Soboczynski, born in 1975 in Toruń, Poland, lives in Berlin and Hamburg and is head of the literature section of the ZEIT feature pages. He has written several narrative non-fiction books, including "Die schonende Abwehr verliebter Frauen". His novel "Fabelhafte Eigenschaften" was published by Klett-Cotta in 2015.
