All My Ghosts. With Uwe Timm
with Thomas Laue Uwe Timm
Hamburg, 1955: Uwe begins his apprenticeship as a furrier in his father’s fur business. Clocking in and out every day, he learns the quirks and secrets of this art form. He listens to the stories of his colleagues, makes new friends, discovers the city and jazz. The young apprentice dreams of writing, reads Salinger and Camus in secret and begins – still very shy – to find out about love. He becomes interested in political issues and starts getting into even more intense arguments with his father about the Nazi era. When a price war breaks out on the fur market and his father suddenly dies of a heart attack, young Uwe finds himself left with a business on the brink of bankruptcy. But in spite of the hard work and worry, he holds fast to his dream of a different life. In All My Ghosts, best-selling author Uwe Timm creates a vibrant portrait of an era and a moving coming-of-age novel about love, reading, work and dreams. Host: Shelly Kupferberg
