MASCHA KALÉKO: »WENN ICH EINE WOLKE WÄRE« EIN ABEND MIT VOLKER WEIDERMANN

In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Kerstin Holzer

For Mascha Kaléko, Berlin was the urban resonance chamber of her poems, the city of her first successes - and of her losses. She only returned in January 1956, after 17 years in exile. Volker Weidermann, author of celebrated bestsellers ("Mann vom Meer", "Ostende"), follows a single year in the poet's life and at the same time unfolds an entire German-Jewish life. With a sure instinct for biographical condensation, he tells of flight and homecoming, of loss of language and poetic perseverance, of exile, memory and great love ("Wenn ich eine Wolke wäre - Mascha Kaléko und die Reise ihres Lebens" // Kiepenheuer & Witsch).
