**
The Sandon Room, the Bluecoat, Liverpool, 31 March 2011, 7-9pm
From Moscow to Sarajevo, Kandahar to Berlin, the realities of war and the political illusions of the twentieth century are the stuff of contemporary literature. The effects echo through generations and weave stories that criss-cross Europe and the world. Two writers examine the personal stories and histories that connect individuals and families: writer-in-residence at University of Liverpool’s German Department, Larissa Boehning (Berlin) reads from her novel The Luck of the Cicadas, and Zoe Lambert (Manchester) reads from her collection The War Tour.
Reading in German and English. ALL WELCOME!
Tickets are free, but places are limited - please book your place directly with the Bluecoat.
