Reading with Fariba Vafi – “The Dream of Tibet”
004.8.2019 at 19:30 - 21:00
The author Fariba Vafi is coming to Germany and Austria for a reading tour in April and will be reading from her latest work The Dream of Tibet (from the Persian by Jutta Himmelreich). Its first reading will take place on April 8th in Cologne. On her two-week tour, she will also read in Düsseldorf and Vienna. Freelance author and editor Gerrit Wustmann will moderate the reading in Cologne.
The search for freedom and the desire for self-determination also play an important role in "The Dream of Tibet". Young Scholeh suffers from lovesickness and flees to her half-sister Schiwa and her husband Javid. While Scholeh is plagued by her own worries, she begins to question the happiness of the others: Is Schiwa happy with her husband? Does Djawid dream bigger than a family? What do intimacy, adultery and criticism of authority mean?
Admission is free.
