Tomorrow is Now: Speeches

How to accept a prize that had initially been withdrawn? How to declare one’s love for America, just after Trump has been elected? What can a German with Iranian roots have to say about Auschwitz? What words remain at one’s father’s grave? And can someone from Cologne speak objectively about Cologne’s football team, 1. FC Kölln? Kermani takes on difficult questions and invites his listeners to give up established ways of thinking. His unique way of bringing together classical German literature, Islamic mysticism, American counterculture and European spirit opens up surprising and gripping avenues of thought in every single speech.
