„Licht­ungen“ – Lesung mit Iris Wolff

In the organizer's words:

"Lichtungen", the new novel by Iris Wolff, has been a regular on the bestseller lists for many months. Now the author is finally a guest in Düsseldorf.

About the book: Lev and Kato grew up in Transylvania before the fall of communism (where the author also spent the first eight years of her life). The long-awaited opening of the borders in Europe led to many upheavals, including for the two main characters. Like other people, they live between hope and remembrance, between hesitation and departure. The author chooses an unusual perspective: the story begins with the end, only at the end of the book do we know how Kato and Lev's friendship and love began.

Iris Wolff, born in 1977 in Sibiu in Transylvania, is an author living in Freiburg im Breisgau. She has received numerous awards for her books, including the Marie-Luise-Kaschnitz Prize and the Eichendorff Literature Prize.
