Live and Let Live. Michaela Karl and Anna Thalbach on Katherine Mansfield
Today she is adored by readers worldwide, but Katherine Mansfield (1888-1923) was unpopular during her lifetime. Born in New Zealand, she came to London in the early twentieth century with the goal of becoming a famous writer. She caused a stir – and trouble – among the legendary Bloomsbury group. Virginia Woolf and co. considered her part of the “literary underworld”, while Mansfield considered herself a genius. Blessed with creativity, talent and humor, she created an outstanding body of work in a breathtakingly short time, while keeping her numerous demons at bay. In “Live and Let Live”, best-selling author and magnificent storyteller Michaela Karl paints a sweeping portrait of the paradoxical artist Katherine Mansfield, while making a case for her mantra, “live and let live”. Anna Thalbach reads the unorthodox Bohemian’s most remarkable texts.
