Talking about the Weather is Offensive

Live short stories, poems, and songs

They were sad, of course yes, happy betraying each other.
Attempted kissing, as if nothing at all were wrong.

They looked into their eyes, and saw only their pupils
Nobody really knew how to go on.
— from 'Love, Factually' [free translation from Erich Kaestner's Sachliche Romanze, 1928]


Iā€™m currently working on a literary variety show that combines short fiction with songs and poetry.

Part of the new format is also to add free translations of modern German love poetry to the mix. Keep posted for more info here soon!

This live literature event marks a follow-up project to The World Is Beautiful, with Minor Conflicts.
