A book presentation of the new anthology »Berlin Babel«, which brings together 14 stories by writers from 11 countries. Among them are Leon Craig from the UK and Katy Derbyshire, who edited the anthology for V&Q. The evening asks how writers tackle that seemingly eternal subject, Berlin, what makes a good Berlin story, and whose perspective counts. It also includes a reading and talk with Sheila Armstrong and Gesa Stedman as well as music from DJ Natalie Stardust.
