biographical writing
An irritating observation made by the author and recent Nobel Prize winner Annie Ernaux at the age of twelve is the starting point for her text Shame / La honte, which Stefanie Hoster staged as a radio play (DLF Kultur, Sunday, 6:30 p.m.). Autobiographical writing is also Elena Ferrantes Neapolitan saga perish. This weekend, the fifth and final season of the radio play adaptation starts The Story of the Lost Child (Bayern 2, Sundays, 3 p.m.). Kurt Vonnegut experienced the firebomb attack on Dresden on February 13, 1945, which he described in his brilliant novel Slaughterhouse 5 or the Children’s Crusade reflected in literature. Leonhard Koppelmann staged it as a radio play in two parts (SWR 2, Sundays, 6:20 p.m.).
Ghosts and other brutes
The two-part children’s radio play tells the story of three girls Black houseswho spend a summer together in a convalescent home on a North Sea island. However, the stay is not relaxing at all – the adult supervisors are much too coarse and mean for that (WDR 5, Saturdays, 7:04 p.m.). Tom, on the other hand, has it in Cornelia Funke’s two-parter Ghost hunters on an icy trail even dealing with a ghost. But he also knows how to help himself (NDR Kultur, Sunday and Monday, seven o’clock).
