»GHOST STORIES« EIN ABEND MIT SIRI HUSTVEDT & MARIA FURTWÄNGLER

In the organizer's words:

How can you go on living after the death of a loved one? When Paul Auster was dying, he told his wife that he wanted to become a ghost. And that is what he became for Siri Hustvedt: an ever-present presence, painful and comforting at the same time. In her book of memories (Rowohlt // Engl. by Uli Aumüller & Grete Osterwald), the great American writer looks back on 43 years together and approaches the impossible wish to bring Paul back to life. Her unprecedented book of mourning, remembrance and love tells of the legendary author couple from Brooklyn and at the same time of the lovers Siri and Paul; Maria Furtwängler reads the German passages.
