Lesung mit dem Autor Tomer Gardi - »Liefern«

In the organizer's words:

In his latest novel "Liefern", award-winning author Tomer Gardi focuses on those who keep our cities moving and yet often remain invisible: Food deliverers in Delhi, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Istanbul or Berlin. With great narrative power, he weaves their stories into a global panorama of our present. "Liefern" tells of racism and exploitation, of love and family, of longing, solidarity and the great yearning for connection. Political, poetic and at the same time light-footed, Gardi unfolds a polyphonic epic that reaches far beyond national borders.

The novel is a literary journey around the world in six episodes - humorous, profound and carried by Gardi's unmistakable narrative voice. Like his characters, the author himself moves between different worlds: born in a kibbutz, he has lived in Vienna and Jerusalem and now lives in Berlin. His texts show with great sensitivity that the forlornness of those left behind affects us all.

The reading is part of the ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM to our exhibition "Beyond the Mediterranean".
