Reading & Discussion | Moderator: Ulrika Rinke (Literaturhaus Rostock)
Invited to read from an unfinished manuscript, the narrator travels to Mecklenburg in June 2025: that lake-rich landscape he had called the “North” in the summer of 1979, the period his reading text is set in. Back then, life lay open before him; now, an unexpected encounter confronts him with unsettling questions: Was he too young and too carefree for true love? Have only illusions and utopias been lost, or also hopes that are missing from a present in which the fear of war once again seems real?
Ingo Schulze, born in Dresden in 1962, has repeatedly distinguished himself as an author and intellectual. His most recent work is *Zu Gast im Westen. Aufzeichnungen aus dem Ruhrgebiet* (2024). His work has been honored with international awards and has been translated into 32 languages.
