About the Event

Long titles are the death of marketing. At least that's what they say. This does not apply to the new book by Saša Stanišić, especially since it is truly intriguing: "If the widow wants to be addressed, she places the watering can on the grave with the spout facing forward." In his stories published in 2024 by Luchterhand Verlag, he tackles highly current and at the same time "eternal" themes as always: Where do we actually come from and where do we want to go? How does the country I came to as a guest worker treat me? What if I had not made this one decision, but another? He does it with humor and lightness, yet his characters possess a seriousness and urgency that give his texts a clear political and societal dimension. Cooperation event of the Dresden Philharmonic, the Municipal Libraries Dresden, the Saxon State Library - State and University Library Dresden (SLUB), and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation Saxony to kick off the literature series "AufBruch - Voices from Eastern Europe".
