The book brings together two artfully contrasting narratives: the story of siblings Karin and Wolf Kohlmann growing up in the GDR in the late 1960s, alongside glimpses into a life today. Hensel, born in Karl-Marx-Stadt in 1961 and a writer of poetry, novels and stories, portrays false morality, petty bourgeois attitudes and shattered dreams, at times poetic, at times wryly ironic. A reading promising to be both profound and entertaining for anyone interested in contemporary German literature.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/berlin/events/lesung-kerstin-hensel-abendgru-125534/", "official_url": "https://www.berlin.de/land/kalender/index.php?detail=297464&ls=0&c=4&v_ort=13119&date_start=05.11.2026", "image": "https://noky.io/images/c0a45fad643ee3dd8b95101996efae7c0c2e14b834b5754580448ddcea97d2e5-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-17T18:15:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Heinrich-Schulz- Bibliothek", "address": "Otto-Suhr-Allee 98, 10585 Berlin", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Literarische Erinnerungsbilder", "start": "2026-11-09T18:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung", "address": "Straße der Pariser Kommune 8A, 10243 Berlin", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["history/germany", "literature"], "description": "\"Literarische Erinnerungsbilder\" is a reading followed by a conversation.
