Freud's Patient, Her Life, a Novel
Not many first novels have been as anticipated as Katharina Adler's. She was the namesake for the legendary joint and literary production office "Adler & Sons" in Prenzlauer Berg. There, in an old shop where Heiner Müller once bought cigars, the energies of Saša Staniši?, Thomas Pletzinger, the later KiWi editor Jan Valk, the journalist Benjamin Lauterbach, the translator Christine Bredenkamp, the publisher Patrick Hutsch and others were concentrated for a while. Adler, however, was working on a manuscript, a great material. It was murmured about. Now the story of Ida Adler, who entered Freud's writings on psychoanalysis as the "Dora case" and as a fleeing patient, is published (Rowohlt Verlag). Katharina Adler has written a family novel and memorialized her great-grandmother. It is the novel of a life that only began with Freud's practice door behind her. The evening will be moderated by Jan Wiele (F.A.Z.).
