Wladimir Kaminer - Müttertage - Batschkapp Frankfurt

In the organizer's words:

Admission: 18:00

Start: 19:00

A charming bow to the heroines of everyday life in many enchanting stories about mothers, daughters, grandmothers and mothers-in-law!

"My new book is about how a ninety-something-year-old with a fog in her head bravely carries on living, solving world crises and bringing up the cat." At least these are some of the things that Wladimir Kaminer's own mother takes care of. And she is in good company in these stories. After all, who keeps the world turning in a reasonably orderly fashion if not our mothers? They try - more or less discreetly - to guide the destinies of their offspring, give advice and even entrust us with their secret recipe for aspic. Not everything meets with the desired approval, but it always makes for a nice story. Potential mothers-in-law don't miss out either. Anyone who wants to please them is capable of extraordinary transformations. Vladimir was able to observe this in his own son ...

Wladimir Kaminer was born in Moscow in 1967. He trained as a sound engineer for theater and radio and then studied dramaturgy at the Moscow Theater Institute. He has lived in Berlin since 1990.
