An evening with Behzad Karim Khani: book presentation in Berlin
An exciting literary event is just around the corner! On Thursday, November 28th, at 7 p.m., a fascinating evening awaits us with the Berlin author Behzad Karim Khani , who presents his brand new book "When we were swans". The event takes place in the workroom of the district central library Pablo Neruda in Berlin. Admission is free, but registration is required!
Behzad Karim Khani, an emerging star of German literature, takes us on a trip to the 1990s. His novel unfolds the dark reality of the records in the old FRG and the search for a boy for his identity. Born in Tehran and fled to the Ruhr area with his family, Khani tells of a life shaped by contradictions and challenges. "Exhausted to understand the country" - the son describes his situation while the mother believes in the arrival.
A look into the heart of the novel
"When we were swans" is more than just a novel - it is a window into the soul of a boy who lives in a environment in which "the kitchens have no deductions" and smells in corridors "for poverty, marjoram and bunk beds". Khani urges the struggles and violence that shape his quarter, while his parents hardly suspect anything. It is the story of a diaspora that embodies both homeland and foreignness - an urgent comment on the reality of life in a foreign country.
Behzad Karim Khani, who grew up in an artist family, brought his passion for the writing of Tehran to Germany. His debut novel "Hund, Wolf, Schakal" has already caused a sensation. Now he brings us a book that reflects "about freedom in strangers" and the "truth of the swans". His stories are characterized by an emotional depth that captivates the audience!
