Internationally renowned since the 1990s for his bestseller The Reader, which was adapted into a film, Bernhard Schlink is one of the most well-known German-language authors in the French-speaking world. In The Granddaughter, he brings back the ghosts of the GDR, reunification, and the Third Reich. A powerful novel in which a family drama deeply resonates with the current reality of a Europe caught in the grip of the far-right’s rise.
Bernhard Schlink will be signing books from 16:50 to 17:20.
Organized by: Frankfurter Buchmesse, Goethe-Institut (Europanetzwerk Deutsch)
