Berlin Calling: A Story of Anarchy, Music, the Wall, and the Birth of the New Berlin – A Book Talk by Paul Hockenos
Join us for a book presentation by Paul Hockenos, author of Berlin Calling: A Story of Anarchy, Music, the Wall, and the Birth of the New Berlin.
Berlin Calling is a never-before-told account of the Berlin Wall’s momentous crash, seen through the eyes of the divided city’s street artists and punk rockers, impresarios and underground agitators. Berlin-based writer Paul Hockenos offers us an original chronicle of 1989’s “peaceful revolution,” which upended communism in East Germany, and the wild, permissive years of artistic ferment and pirate utopias that followed when protest and idealism, techno clubs and sprawling squats were the order of the day.
Paul Hockenos is an American journalist and author who writes regularly for the New York Times, the Chronicle of Higher Education, Foreign Policy, and many other publications. He has held fellowships with the American Academy in Berlin, the European Journalism College, the German Marshall Fund of the United States, and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He is the author of Free to Hate and Berlin Calling (The New Press) and lives in Berlin.
Co-sponsored by the Goethe-Institut Boston. A reception and book-signing will follow.
