BLAUE STUNDE: Cleo Birdwell ›Amazonen‹ - An Evening with Frank Heibert on the 90th Birthday of Don DeLillo

Description

Cleo Birdwell is twenty-four – and the first professional player of the National Hockey League. On and off the ice, she becomes a sensation – and a projection surface for media, men, and the sports business. In 1980, the "Intimate Memoirs" of Cleo Birdwell appeared under the title "Amazonen".
Who was behind it? No less than US literary star Don DeLillo. His authorship was quickly an open secret, yet he removed the book from his oeuvre. Now it is rediscovered (Kiepenheuer & Witsch): a wild satire on Male Gaze, commerce, and American self-staging. Star translator Frank Heibert brings DeLillo's mask play to life in the Blaue Stunde – on the 90th birthday of the legendary author. ADMISSION: EUR 12.- / 9.- Organizer: Stiftung Literaturhaus
