Litera­rischer Sommer: Dotan Tomer-Dreyfus liest aus „Birobid­schan“

In the organizer's words:

The Israeli poet Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus has come to Germany in the footsteps of his ancestors, is taking a Yiddish course and wonders whether Yiddish is an official language anywhere. Yes, in the autonomous region of Birobidzhan, which Stalin designated as a Jewish settlement region in the 1930s. This is where Dotan-Dreyfus sets his story about the couple Alex and Rachel, the fisherman and native Birobidzhanian Boris Klayn or the friends Gregory and Sascha, who set off on a road trip to Tunguska. Life in Birobidzhan goes on as usual, far away from the big world events - until events come thick and fast...

Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus, born in Haifa in 1987, has lived in Berlin for ten years. He writes in both Hebrew and German.
