Fwd: Literature Festival & Film Screening Solace

Festival NEUE LITERATUR | CONVERSATION A House is Not a Home MONDAY MAR 08, 06:00 PM - 08:00 PM The annual Festival NEUE LITERATUR brings some of best up and coming German-speaking authors to New York, where they encounter well-known American writers in a series of conversations and readings. This year's edition of the festival centers on the notion of mobility in today's increasingly globalized world. In the conversation A House is Not a Home, Rivka Galchen, Olga Flor, and Julya Rabinowich analyze the experience of not feeling quite at home in the place where we live and our yearning for security and well-being despite all outward success. The panel will be led by Daniela Strigl.
