Phillip B. Williams: »Ours. Die Stadt«

In the organizer's words:

What happens when a place created out of pain and hope becomes the last refuge? In his novel Ours. The City, the American author Phillip B. Williams creates a gripping narrative about a place that was never allowed to exist: Ours. A secret city in 19th century America, created for escaped enslaved people and protected by magic - a place of freedom. But when a new threat looms, the inhabitants must decide what they are willing to sacrifice for their independence. The author combines resistance with poetry. Between historical facts and fantastical elements, Phillip B. Williams creates an epic narrative about belonging and emancipation. Salon host Lida Shams-Mostofi explores fragile utopias, identities and the price of independence. The German passages will be read by Torben Kessler from Schauspiel Hannover.
