Lesung Greta Taubert

PHILIPPUS' SMALL LITERARY SUMMER GARDEN

Greta Taubert reads from her book “Good Morning, Handsome—Encounters with East German Men”

Who is the East German man? In the media, they are portrayed as figures with faces contorted by hatred, Saxon-accented men in hats, and dim-witted
figures. Journalist Greta Taubert challenges this stereotype. 

From a variety of conversations emerges an exciting, charming exploration of the East German man—and a long-overdue declaration of love.

Greta Taubert is an author based in Leipzig and Berlin. In her books, essays, reports, and performances, she explores the question of what a good life for everyone might look like in the face of climate catastrophe and conflict.
