Christoph Hein in Morocco
Christoph Hein reads from his novel "Portrait of a Son with Father," which is scheduled for release in the Arabic translation of Youssra Aly in March 2017 by Sefsafa Publishing House (Cairo) with the support of Litrix.de.
What does Konstantin Boggosch, whom his mother described as child of fortune, owe to his father? In Christoph Hein’s new novel, which mobilises all the registers of his storytelling prowess and his historicaldiagnostic skills, the father is the driving force. But by no means in a positive sense: ever since his birth in 1945, the son, now growing up in the early days of the GDR, has been trying to get away from his war criminal father: psychologically, physically, professionally, geographically, even in his love life.
