»ONIGIRI« - BUCHPREMIERE MIT YUKO KUHN

In the organizer's words:

Talk: Doris Dörrie
Live music: Nami Kamata ("Coconami")
When Aki learns that her grandmother has died, she travels to Japan with her mother Keiko - a risk, as Keiko is suffering from dementia. But as they sit together with the family at dinner in the old family home, the otherwise quiet woman seems to have shed her tiredness and oblivion. And suddenly Aki recognizes in her mother the courageous and life-hungry woman she once was. With gentle clarity, Munich-based author Yuko Kuhn tells the fascinating story of a German-Japanese family that gets lost between cultures and finds itself anew (Hanser Berlin). Her novel is this fall's literary debut, "heartbreakingly wonderful and beautiful to cry about" (Doris Dörrie).
