“Literary Conversations in the City Library” is an open event series for all literature enthusiasts, moderated by the literary scholar Dorothea Berg.

Rudi Dutschke is shot on the street, stones shatter the windows of the Springer building. These are tense times in which Philip S., a sensitive and idiosyncratic Swiss, meets the young mother Ulrike at the Berlin Film Academy. Far from the unrest, they create a self-directed world dedicated to aesthetics and familial security. However, their everyday life gradually becomes politicized; they establish children’s stores, design flyers, and pamphlets. After a prison stay, nothing is as it once was for the lovers.

Ulrike Edschmid tells in her moving book about the unstoppable loss of a person who goes underground in armed struggle. She reflects on the formative years of her generation – and on a tragedy that has never been described in this way.
