In the book "Questions would I still have", published by Rotpunktverlag Zurich, thirty authors from Germany, Austria and Switzerland, writers, but also people from other professions, talk about the lives of their grandfathers and grandmothers in the eventful 20th century. The memories from the grandchildren's point of view show the emotional, sometimes traumatic reverberations across generational boundaries. The result is a collection of very personal stories that get under your skin and cannot be found in any history book.

At the Literaturhaus Chur, their stories will be read by the Graubünden writer Romana Ganzoni, the author and historian Christian Ruch and the actor and editor of the book Wolfram Schneider-Lastin.

Duration: approx. 70 minutes

My father – the hero
Julia Keller deals with the dying and death of her father in a sensitive and subtle way. It becomes clear how she can wonderfully deepen and expand the relationship between a daughter and her father, especially in such an extreme situation between life and death. You can feel the mutual love. Nevertheless, Julia Keller does not gloss over anything and also deals self-critically with sticking points and areas of friction between her and her father. A very authentic book from which the reader can also gain valuable insights. 

Julia Keller was born in Nyon and has lived in eastern Switzerland for many years. After "My Name is Julia", "My Father – the Hero" is the second book she has published. 

Doors open: 7.15 p.m.
