Lesung von Anja Kampmann mit Benno Fürmann

"Anger is a bright star" - Reading

"An event of the fall tour of the NDR Kultur series "Der Norden liest"

A great historical Hamburg novel that you read with all your senses: You perceive the mustiness of the Gängeviertel, smell the brackish water of the harbor, shudder at the misery of the people. Anja Kampmann, born in Hamburg in 1983 and winner of many awards, tells of female self-assertion in a male-dominated time. Hedda, a variety artist on the Reeperbahn, no longer knows who she can trust after the National Socialists come to power. How will they behave in St. Pauli? Freedom is becoming ever narrower, the existential threats ever more dramatic. Kampmann tells all this in a poetic and at the same time true-to-life language.
