In addition to his novels, short stories, screenplays, and essays, Jurek Becker also wrote countless postcards to friends and family in an effort to brighten their days. Many of these postcards were sent to his wife, Christine, to whom he was married from 1983 until his untimely death from cancer in 1997.
To read some of these postcards, Christine Becker herself joined us at Letters Live in Berlin, on the 26th June 2024.
Neben seinen Romanen, Kurzgeschichten, Drehbüchern und Essays schrieb Jurek Becker auch unzählige Postkarten an Freunde und Verwandte, um ihnen den Tag zu verschönern. Viele dieser Postkarten schickte er an seine Frau Christine, mit der er von 1983 bis zu seinem frühen Krebstod im Jahr 1997 verheiratet war.
Um einige dieser Postkarten zu lesen, kam Christine Becker selbst am 26. Juni 2024 zu Letters Live in Berlin.
