About this Event
Join the Los Angeles Public Library & the Thomas Mann House Los Angeles for an in-depth conversation with "On Being" podcast host Krista Tippett & acclaimed German author Navid Kermani!
Krista Tippett, author and award–winning host of the renowned podcast On Being, has spent her career exploring the spiritual and aesthetic dimensions of life. Navid Kermani, one of Germany’s most acclaimed writers, has recently visited some of the world’s conflict zones, not as a political analyst, but as a literary observer. Their far-ranging conversation will touch on what it means to be a writer in a polarized world, how the concept of “the West” is changing, and how literature, poetry, and religion can foster solidarity in a fractured world. The thought-provoking conversation will be followed by a reception that continues the discussion.
The public program is developed in partnership with the Thomas Mann House, a residency center in Pacific Palisades funded by the Federal Republic of Germany. The Thomas Mann House offers a transatlantic space for debate, where outstanding personalities, in dialogue with each other and the host country, address fundamental contemporary and future issues related to politics, society, and culture.
For ADA accommodations, please call (213) 228-7430 at least 72 hours prior to the event.
