Uwe Rada: Spree

In the organizer's words:

The Spree is more than just a river, it is a literary and political landscape. In this text, it is given a voice - Uwe Rada in the taz Talk at the Leipzig Book Fair.

The Spree was never just a river. It had to represent, toil, transport: a real "working river". Uwe Rada explores the Spree as a political and literary symbol that always stood in the shadow of the "lovely Havel".
