Nino Haratischwili: Das mangelnde Licht

In the organizer's words:

Nino Haratischwili, a master storyteller of European realism, unravels a highly emotional story about friendship, strokes of fate, love, but also betrayal and violence in her latest novel to date.

Four girls in the old town of Tbilisi at the end of the 1980s are confronted with the post-Soviet chaos in Georgia, drawn into the maelstrom of battles for territory and influence, torn apart by complex family dynamics and ambivalent friendships. Three of them meet again in Brussels in 2019, where a posthumous retrospective of their photographs is dedicated to the most freedom- and life-hungry, the most uncompromising of them, and the friends confront their story. She has lost none of her topicality.
