Two suitcases, twice the experience of life and reading.
In the summer, Charlotte Gneuß and Jana Hensel already unpacked on the Literaturhaus stage: two suitcases full of life books, companions, crisis helpers. Now Matthias Altenburg and Gabriele von Arnim are guests. One is a long-time journalist, whose successful book "Life is a Temporary Condition" (Rowohlt) tells with quiet force the story of her husband's illness. In 2024, "Dear Grandchildren or The Art of Confidence" (Kjona Verlag) was published. The other, as Jan Seghers, has written the crime bestsellers about Inspector Marthaler and most recently presented "The Soloist" and published "Ghost Train," a "diary with dead" (Rowohlt), which offers a highly resolved mosaic of the present. So, both are familiar with the profound. Together, they reach into the suitcases of books they've brought and explore journeys between two covers. Nothing is just read out. Everything is spoken. And in spring, a third episode will follow with more book suitcases.
The event is made possible by the Ernst Max von Grunelius Foundation.
