Our book club, which is open and free to all literature friends, will discuss the novel 'Blueprint' by Theresia Enzensberger. Books are available to buy from the library beforehand.
Theresia Enzensberger’s entertaining debut is set in 1920s Germany, where an ambitious young woman learns about love, feminism and modern architectural design in the exciting, freewheeling atmosphere of the Bauhaus art school.
Luise Schilling is young, inquisitive and has a promising future ahead of her. At the beginning of the turbulent twenties, she arrives at Weimar's Bauhaus University. She takes classes with professors such as Gropius and Kandinsky and throws herself into the dreams and ideas of her epoch. From technology to art, communism to the avant-garde, populism to the youth movement, Luise encounters the social utopias that still shape us to the present day.
Theresia Enzensberger was born in 1986 in Munich and now lives in Berlin. She studied film at Brand College in New York and works as a freelance journalist for publications including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Zeit Online, Krautreporter and Monopol. In 2014 she founded the award-winning BLOCK magazine.
