Literatur LIVE

Three friends, a kitchen table, the night outside the windows: Annett Gröschner, Peggy Mädler and Wenke Seemann are talking. About themselves as “Eastern women”, whatever that box means, about the happiness of crooked lives, about the present with its past constantly intruding.



There is drinking, laughter and wrestling, it's about fragments of memories and contradictions, about the complexity of influences and about ideals that have become foreign over the years. In Buddhism there are spirits that are born from carelessly thrown away things - “What would the thing spirit of the GDR look like?” the three ask. Her book is as witty and warm-hearted about remembering and reinventing yourself as any major social discussion deserves.
