»White Shroud« – Reading with Corinna Harfouch
On September 1, Corinna Harfouch will read at Kulturforum Görlitzer Synagoge from »White Shroud« by Antanas Škėma. A milestone of modern literature in Lithuania.
Based on his own biography, Škėma tells the life of the Lithuanian exile Antanas Garšva in New York. Garšva, who nevertheless sees himself as a poet, works in the US megacity as a bellboy in the largest hotel in the city.
On the channel LiteraturNews of our new Festival Coordinator for Literature, Thoralf Czichon, there is an episode about »White Shroud«. A little warm-up.
