»SUSAN SONTAG & DEUTSCHLAND« EIN ABEND MIT MICHAEL KRÜGER
In the organizer's words:
Reading: Cathrin Störmer (Residenztheater)
She had an "extremely well-developed sensitivity for everything new and interesting" and an "almost osmotic ability to absorb new trends and tendencies": Susan Sontag. Michael Krüger, her German publisher of many years, knew her as a European by heart and a "book eater" - she recommended many of the German-language authors she loved to her US publisher Roger Straus. Her most famous essays reflect who she admired: Elias Canetti, Walter Benjamin, W.G. Sebald. Thomas Mann's "Magic Mountain" was her declared "life book". But what was Sontag's relationship with Germany and the Germans really like? Michael Krüger, a close confidante for decades, portrays an intellectual who was as charismatic as she was relentless. We will hear excerpts from her essays, diaries and letters, read by Resi star Cathrin Störmer.
