We cordially invite you to the next "LesBar" in the city library on November 26, 2025, 7 pm: Assistant director Georg Meier from @theatervorpommern reads texts by Joan Didion.
Joan Didion (1934-2021) is one of the most brilliant authors in the USA. She is considered a master of the essay and is an icon of "New Journalism", which blurs the boundaries between literature and journalism. She became known to German-speaking readers through her autobiographical book "The Year of Magical Thinking" - but her literary essays are a discovery! For more than 60 years, she has accompanied everyday life and the socio-political landscape of America as a critical eyewitness with a skeptical, cool gaze. She writes about hippies, military cemeteries and shocking criminal cases and combines these major themes with her own personal history. The essays from the anthology "Slouching Towards Bethlehem" were published in the 1960s and are of overwhelming foresight for our social and political present.
In cooperation with the Theater Vorpommern.
Admission free!
