Reading with Fariba Vafi – “The Dream of Tibet”

Look forward to an exciting reading by the multiple literature prize winner Fariba Vafi. In April she will come to Germany and Austria for a two-week reading tour and will read from her latest work in Düsseldorf, Cologne and Vienna The Dream of Tibet (from the Persian by Jutta Himmelreich) read.

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.
