8:30 on Saturday at Lettrétrage (Veteranenstrasse 21): we‘re chatting about the very alive literary legacy of Sebald. There’ll be some convo, some readings, some CRISIS perhaps—but all in all it should be a GOOD TIME!

City Chicken vs City Chicken: Berlin's brutal and bloody rotisserie feud that's spawned lawsuits, criminal investigations and landed one chicken tycoon in prison for torture... www.heistberlin.com/news/nhas-ci...

Some pictures from our latest Immer Schon event at Lettretage… this time we were talking about Sebald and I read from A DREAM OF WHITE HORSES (@ofmooseandmen.bsky.social)… it was a fun evening! @marcelkrueger.bsky.social @ajbwells.bsky.social @juliabosson.bsky.social @return2sanders.bsky.social

In this month's AUFLAUF: - The most depressing street in all Berlin - Rock, funk, and Yes - Northanger Abbey references - Good poetry - Long-awaited John Owen debut - What are history books for? - Gossip columnist seeks hotspot theauflauf.substack.com/p/june-books...

I had the absolute pleasure to speak with Maggie O'Farrell about her excellent new novel, LAND, and how it inadvertently addresses "one of today's most potent political stances: Where do you stand on people arriving in your country or people leaving your country?" www.cntraveler.com/story/for-he...

Looking for new perspectives on German history? This month's reviews: @ajbwells.bsky.social on rock in the GDR, me on Alice Miller's search for her family's story, and John Owen on interwar Weimar (the city, not the republic).
