WHAT<\/strong>: Discussion of Here is Berlin<\/a> book
\nWHEN<\/strong> Monday, April 16, 2012 at 5:30 pm
\nWHERE<\/strong>: German Consulate General Toronto \u2014 2 Bloor St. E. 25th floor
\nHOW MUCH<\/strong>: Free<\/p>\n

We hear a lot about Berlin for many reasons: its history, certainly, but also its city building and cultural scene. On Monday at the German Consulate high above Yonge and Bloor there will be a discussion about a new book called Here is Berlin. It’s a chance to hear about what’s been going on there in the last 20 years since reunification. The German Consulate has great views also, and regularly hosts cultural events, so it’s worth stopping by. More on the book:<\/p>\n

Due to its great success in Europe, an English edition of the highly praised “Here is Berlin” by New York-based writer JM Stim has been published with an introducution by acclaimed Brooklyn writer and translator Tim Mohr.<\/em><\/p>\n

Critics have commented on the book effusively. “The definitive essay about the world’s most buzzed about city”, “Highly erudite, but always comprehensive”, “A must-read when it comes to anything contemporary Berlin.”<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The German Consulate Toronto, in cooperation with the Austrian Cultural Forum, invites you to a book presentation with Austrian author Klaus Stimeder (a.k.a JM Stim) where he will read from and discuss his latest success “Here is Berlin”, a witty and insightful description of the German capital.<\/em><\/p>\n

JM Stim (born Klaus Josef Stimeder in 1975) is a writer and a journalist who lives in Manhattan. In Central Europe the former war correspondent and sports writer became known as the founder and publisher of acclaimed political magazine DATUM and for writing the seminal biography “Despite everything”, which covers the life of Austro-Jewish publishing legend Oscar Bronner.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
