Drawing on these journeys, he will read from his recent writings and reflect on the role of literature in times of crisis. Kermani and Heschel will explore what it means to be a writer in a polarized world marked by war, displacement, and political division? How is the concept of “the West” changing? How might literature, poetry, and religion serve as bridges in fractured societies and foster solidarity?These events bring together acclaimed thinkers from both sides of the Atlantic for a conversation on literature, politics, and spirituality at a moment of profound global change.Presented within the context of the series 'Navid Kermani: In Search of a Common Cause'. With this extensive lecture series, Navid Kermani, the Goethe-Institut in North America and the Thomas Mann House in Los Angeles explore with our local partners how we can build and maintain solidarity among seemingly opposing identities, groups, and geopolitical alliances.
