Reading "Writers & Company" @ IFOA

Interview with Christopher Kloeble

Almost Everything Very Fast © Kyle G. Hunter © Kyle G. Hunter As part of the International Festival of Authors, German novelist Christopher Kloeble will be joining Eleanor Wachtel and Italian author Francesca Melandri in discussion for a special "Writers & Company."
 
“The past is never dead. It’s not even past.” (Faulkner)
Changing borders and identities, politics past and present–all play a role in the engaging fiction of Italy’s Francesca Melandri and Germany’s Christopher Kloeble. Melandri’s prize-winning Eva Sleeps has been compared to Elena Ferrante’s hugely popular Neopolitan series, while Kloeble’s adventurous novel Almost Everything Very Fast is a family saga with a dark secret at its heart.
 
“Writers & Company” host Eleanor Wachtel explores the claims of history on contemporary lives in the work of these two powerful European storytellers.
