BENN TRIFFT: Wolfgang Engler - Brüche. Ein ostdeutsches Leben

In the organizer's words:

Wolfgang Engler has researched the East German state of mind like no other.

With a view to the current erosion of German society and following his own deep inner crisis, sociologist Wolfgang Engler has written his most personal book. With great openness and radicalism, he bears witness in a way that hardly anyone of his generation and background has done before in Germany. The books by French authors of recent years are the main source of inspiration. Édouard Louis, Didier Eribon and Annie Ernaux - their descriptions of class and camp changes, social upheavals and political upheavals are Engler's landmarks, which he uses to tell the story of his own life and that of the society from which he came and into which he went.
