Encore: Saša Stanišić - If the Widow Would Like to Be Spoken To, She Places a Watering Can on the Grave With the Spout Facing Forward.
with Saša Stanišić
What would have happened if you hadn’t made that decision but instead a different one? What if you had defied expectations? And wouldn’t it be nice if you could try out a life before you really live it? Sometimes we fear being cowardly, hesitating too long and having missed something, which would have created a better version of ourselves, made us happier and better looking, resulted in funnier pets and partners. Saša Stanišić (“Where You Come From”, “Before the Feast”) is one of the most influential voices in German literature. His short stories and novels have been translated into more than 30 languages and have won numerous prizes. At this special event, the author presents his new book – Möchte die Witwe angesprochen werden, platziert sie auf dem Grab die Gießkanne mit dem Ausguss nach vorne [“If the Widow Would Like to Be Spoken To, She Places a Watering Can on the Grave With the Spout Facing Forward”]. It is a collection of impressive short stories dedicated to the permanent rumination about the crossroads of our biographies.
