Heinrich Böll. An image from the Beret ProjectDr. Gerlind will be teaching this course at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute @ San Francisco State University.

In this interactive seminar, we’ll explore selections from one of the most famous (West) German authors of the twentieth century. Heinrich Böll (1917-1985) became well known for his short stories and novels, examples of Trümmerliteratur (rubble literature), after World War II. Much of his writing in the immediate postwar years articulates graphically the wounding and trauma experienced during the war.
