Female friends forever! With Shida Bazyar, Isabel Bogdan, Alina Bronsky and Katharina Hagena
with Alina Bronsky Isabel Bogdan Katharina Hagena Mona Ameziane Shida Bazyar
Friendship is one of the great literary themes. It can be a salvation or a strain, can be long-lasting or may fall apart over trivial matters. How do women writers write about friendship today? About closeness and distance, support and freedom, solidarity and self-determination? Shida Bazyar (Sisters in Arms), Isabel Bogdan (The Four of Us), Alina Bronsky (Easy as Pi) and Katharina Hagena (River Lines) examine relationships between women in very different ways – with a keen eye for the breaches and the things that connect.
An evening about friendship in life and literature, about togetherness, silence, laughter, arguments – and about why female friends in literature often tell us more about ourselves than any love story. Host: Mona Ameziane
