German Book Club Reads Esther Kinsky

06/21/16
6:00-7:30pm
Goethe-Institut New York

At the June German Book Club meeting, we will discuss Esther Kinsky's Sommerfrische (Matthes & Seitz Verlag, 2009. ISBN: 3882217227. 16,80€).

Üdülö, a Hungarian vacation destination on a river, is a yearly place of refuge from unbearable summer heat.  It is a place of longing, that promises relief and awakens dreams of love and freedom.  Üdülö means something different to everyone.  But when a woman from abroad seeks to fulfill her dreams of another life, confusion interrupts the normal flow of things. The refrain of a folk song, "don't leave home in haste" is stuck in her head, and yet she ignores its warning.
