Address unkown
A big story in a small book: Kathrine Kressmann Taylor's »Address unkown« shows how friendships can quickly turn into the opposite through ideological implications. Martin and Max, once close business partners in San Francisco, write letters to each other between 1932 and 1934, after Max has returned to Munich. There, he begins to dote on Adolf Hitler and no longer wants any mail from his Jewish friend. Written in 1938, the fictional epistolary novel, which anticipated the Nazi horrors, immediately sold like hot cakes in the USA. It was only translated into German in 2000. John Malkovich and the US-Austrian actor August Zirner, grandson of the composer Franz Schmidt, read from the epistolary novel. In between, the Wiener Akademie Orchestra will play works by Johann Sebastian Bach.
