A bit more on Amanda Palmer’s “The Art of Asking”
Venturing into English language reviewing, because now we have a German review of Amanda Fucking Palmer's "The Art of Asking," yet the book is written in English... So let me add my few cents here: I cried a lot while reading this book. It is, by turns, sad and...
Simona Turini liest Bรผcher fรผr uns
Die deutsche indielit-Rubrik kommt ja so langsam ins Rollen. Ich lese und schreibe und verlose und besuche klassische Lesungen, lustige Lesungen, nackte Lesungen und all sowas, aber so ganz allein geht das auch schnell in Richtung ARBEIT, oh Schreck! Unterstรผtzung...

Naked Boys Reading in Berlin
You know what they say about Berliners? They've seen it all before, similar to New Yorkers, right? Well, probably not in this case, because Thursday night saw the first ever installment of Naked Boys Reading in town. It was also my first time at Monster Ronson's...
Book Review of The Berlin Diaries by author Lawrence Benner
Noel Mauriceโs first installment of his trilogy The Berlin Diaries is charming, awkward, and surprisingly moving. While it is somewhat uneven, it hints at the promise of a gifted writer. The central conceit is a coming of age story. The protagonist โ Noel โ is a young...
