Christoph Hein READING from the new novel
The day begins at 3 p.m. with the grand senior of the writing guild: Christoph Hein reads! From the new novel that has just been published. The Ship of Fools .In his brilliant social novel, Christoph Hein brings together women and men who are assigned the most diverse roles in the founding of the GDR, accompanying them through the dramatic developments of a society in the making, which supposedly represents the better Germany and yet rushes from one failure to the next. Convinced communists, formerly enthusiastic Nazis, functionaries entangled in intrigues, intellectuals who have managed to salvage their bourgeoisie under real socialism, shoe salesmen, waiters, factory workers, janitors and even a high-ranking Stasi man recognize in one way or another that they belong to an involuntary crew on board a community that they increasingly perceive as a ship of fools and whose course is heading towards ever more threatening historical cliffs.
