GITTERSEE. Lesung und Gespräch mit Charlotte Gneuß

In the organizer's words:

What does it feel like to grow up in a country where your friend suddenly disappears and nobody talks about it? In her award-winning debut novel Gittersee, Charlotte Gneuss paints a vivid picture of the GDR in the 1970s: 16-year-old Karin lives with her family in the Dresden suburb of Gittersee. While she longs for freedom, she unexpectedly becomes entangled in the structures of state security. When her boyfriend Paul suddenly disappears, she is caught in a web of mistrust, betrayal and fear. Now she has to decide who she can still trust.
