Neubrandenburg Book Spring: Reading with actress Rika Weniger and discussion with publisher Carsten Gansel.
With her early stories about young women in the young GDR, Brigitte Reimann still has a lot to say today: original views from a courageous author that help us understand early GDR history. "Katja" collects stories about women that have never before been published in book form. Carsten Gansel has unearthed this treasure from the archive, Rika Weniger reads from the book published in 2024.
Brigitte Reimann traces the position of women in society through literature - such was the extent of the restrictions she felt she had to fight against and the prejudices she faced due to her self-confident life choices.
