What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
American Academy Reading
American Academy alumnus Nathan Englander returns to Berlin to read from his most recent and acclaimed story collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank. In eight masterful stories, Englander grapples with the weight of the past, the relationship between history and the present, and the place of the Holocaust in modern life. With humor, pathos, and astonishing dexterity, Englander presents unforgettable characters wrestling with issues of faith, justice, desire, and love. The result is an indispensable collection of contemporary classics. Moderated by Wieland Freund, a literary critic at Die Welt.
In cooperation with Luchterhand Literaturverlag
