Literary evening with Astrid Müller: Experience love and dogs in Berlin

literary discovery in Spandau: Astrid Müller's debut novel as a cultural event

On September 19, 2024, the Spandau district central library became the scene of a special literary reading. The author Astrid Müller presents her work "Twenty Years - Dogs, Heat and Love". This event not only leads to the discovery of a new literary talent, but also opens up a dialogue about topics such as relationships, social expectations and personal freedom.

Müller, who lives and works in Berlin, has already made a name for herself as a speaker and editor. With her debut novel, she illuminates the inner tornness of her protagonist, Dr. Leonora Hildt. As a successful agricultural scientist with a life that is characterized by scientific discovery and travel, Leonora is put to the test by an unexpected and passionate encounter. In the middle of a heat wave, she meets the twenty years younger Anthony Fields, whose unconventional charm and attraction lead her to an emotional roller coaster ride.

The novel not only addresses the forbidden pages of love, but also addresses the influence of clichés and outdated morals on personal relationships. "Twenty Years" forces readers to think about their own prejudices. The backdrop of this love story, which partly takes place in Thailand, also speaks for Müller's own trips and experiences in Southeast Asia. Such experiences flow into their narrative style and enrich the plot with impressive images and living descriptions.

The reading in the Spandau district central library takes place at 7 p.m. and is an invitation to everyone interested in dealing with these topics. The event is free of charge, but due to limited space capacity, a prior registration is recommended. This is not only an opportunity to get to know the author, but also to become part of a cultural dialogue that enriches the Berlin literary scene.
