Reading and Discussion on Korean Healing Fiction and the Power of the Written Word — Thalia Buchhaus, Hamburg

Thalia, together with kiwi space publishing, invites you to a special evening as part of the Lange Nacht der Literatur (Long Night of Literature). The focus is "Der Briefladen, in dem die Zeit still stand" by Baek Seungyeon - a tender story about letters that offer comfort, forge connections, and open up new ways of seeing.

Through atmospheric readings we step into the world of Korean Healing Fiction, then talk about what makes this genre so compelling and why publishers are increasingly drawn to these quiet, hopeful stories. In keeping with the Month of Letter Writing, we'll each write a letter to our future selves - followed by an open exchange on the power of words, memory, and fresh starts.
