The Christa Wolf Society (e.V.) is visiting Schwerin, and we want to gather together—each with a book by Christa Wolf in hand—to read aloud our favorite passages and new discoveries, or simply to listen...
"Everyone gathered around the long table.
The lanterns glowed in the trees.
The toads went wild. 'Starting today,' said Luisa, 'the ball will roll down the hill again.'"
One of the goals of the Christa-Wolf-Gesellschaft e.V. is to keep Christa Wolf’s books alive, to get things rolling, to build networks, and to gather around long tables. In and outside of Germany, in a wide variety of places—from Paris to Schwerin—people meet who, in some cases, didn’t even know each other before. With a book by the author—whether their own or borrowed—under their arm, they read their personal favorite passages to one another and strike up conversations. This was precisely what Christa Wolf always intended: to meet and talk with one another. We look forward to seeing you!
