SCHREIBEND DIE WAHRNEHMUNG SCHÄRFEN BEI CARMEN-FRANCESCA BANCIU

Schreibend die Wahrnehmung schärfen bei Carmen-Francesca Banciu. Die in Rumä-
nien geborene Schriftstellerin zog
nach Deutschland, als sie in ihrem Heimatland nicht mehr publizieren durfte. In- zwischen schreibt sie auch auf Deutsch, gewann Stipendien und Preise, coacht junge Autoren und blockierte Journalisten ebenso wie interes- sierte Laien. „Beim Creative Writing geht es darum, die Wahrnehmung zu schulen“, sagt sie. Damit ihre Seminarteilnehmer den „inneren Zensor ausschalten“ und die Wörter fließen können, spricht sie alle Sinne an, lässt ihre
Klienten zum Beispiel mit verbundenen Augen selbst gebackenes Brot kosten. „Die Freude an der Entdeckung von Dingen, die man eigentlich zu kennen glaubt, aber nie wirklich wahrnimmt, setzt Kreativität frei“, erklärt sie. Über Assoziationen gelangen kreativ Schreibende dann über kurz oder lang in die eigene Vergangenheit. Das hilft auch Nichtliteraten, sich von biografischen Altlasten und Hemm- nissen zu befreien und sich leichter zu entfalten. „Wenn wir den Dingen einen Namen geben, bekommen wir Macht über sie“, sagt Banciu.

Berlin Tales

Edited by Helen Constantine
Lyn Marven and Edited by

Berlin Tales is a collection of seventeen translated stories associated with Berlin. The book provides a unique insight into the mind of this fascinating city through the eyes of its story-tellers.

Nearly twenty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the stories collected here reflect on the city’s fascinating recent history, setting out with the early twentieth-century Berlin of Siegfried Kracauer and Alfred Döblin and culminating in an excellent selection of stories from the best of the new voices in the current boom in German fiction. They are chosen for their conscious exploration of the city’s image, meaning, and attraction to immigrants and tourists as well as Berliners from both sides of the Wall. These stories also depict Berlin’s distinct districts, not just the differences between East and West but also iconic sites such as Alexanderplatz, individual neighbourhoods (Jewish Mitte, Turkish Kreuzberg) and individual streets.

There is an introduction and notes to accompany the stories and a selection of Further Reading. Each story is illustrated with a striking photograph and there is a map of Berlin and its transport system (a frequent motif). There is an introduction and notes to accompany the stories and a selection of Further Reading. The book will appeal to people who love travelling or are armchair travellers, as much as to those who love Berlin.
