Reading with Lea Streisand

Love hurts, and Berliners aren’t wimps. These are the most important lessons you should know about communication in the capital. We like to grumble and give people dirty looks, but you shouldn’t take it personally. The Berlin dialect is a made-up language. We’re just putting on an act.

Lea Streisand has written a cultural history of the Berlin dialect for locals and newcomers—concise, clever, and with a touch of quiet humor—just like her audio column “war schön jewesen” on radioeins.

Registration by phone or in person at the library.
