It is remarkable how Nagelschmidt in "work" focuses on those who normally work in secret while the city is sleeping. By presenting different professions and realities of life, the author provides insights into the diversity and the value of work in the big city. The reading is moderated by Christian Dunker by the bookstore and promises to become an exciting and reflective evening.

The event offers the audience the opportunity to deal with the topic of work in Berlin and to get to know the city from a new perspective. It becomes clear what contribution the often invisible workers make to maintain nightly life in the metropolis.

The reading is free of charge, but requires registration under the specified contact details. Further information can be obtained by phone or on the website of the center library. It remains to be seen how the reading is recorded by the visitors and what discourse they will encourage work in the big city.
