It is an entirely ordinary date, yet for Christa Wolf, it was a special one for over fifty years: Since 1960, she described her September 27th year after year, fascinated by the significance an average day takes on when one realizes how many life paths converge within it.

She writes about Germany after September 11, 2001, her own work on her last major work, City of Angels or The Overcoat of Dr. Freud, but also about.
