About
A literary evening of readings, conversation and mutual interviewing at Lettrétage. Romanian author and curator Ioana Cristina Casapu welcomes Australian writer and critic Alexander Wells for the second edition of her series „THERE IS NO PAST IN BERLIN“, which she initiated together with Lars Jongeblod. Starting from Karl Scheffler's verdict that Berlin is „condemned forever to becoming“, they ask how much of the past we carry into a new life, tracing writers who came to Berlin to begin again – from Isherwood's Schöneberg and Joseph Roth's streets to today's perpetually unfinished capital. Casapu draws on her essay collection „Berliner Tagebuch – Die Geschichte meiner inneren Mauer“ (2025), Wells on essays following Joseph Roth, questioning young Australians in Berlin and examining how the Stasi became part of a reassuring Western narrative.
