   New from Knockabout Media: How I Wrote This w/ Pamela Hensley

   New from Knockabout Media: How I Wrote This w/ Pamela Hensley (https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/661559a02178ca001697e771) There’s mystery within the creative process and a story behind every story. In the new podcast How I Wrote This, host Pamela Hensley sits down with acclaimed novelists, essayists, playwrights, translators, poets, and short story writers to learn more about their lives and the events that shaped their work. Episode 1: Julia Franck was born in 1970 in East Berlin in the former GDR (German Democratic Republic), a part of Germany that, at the time, was behind the Iron Curtain. As a child, she fled with her mother to the West and lived for nine months in a refugee camp, where they were interrogated by agents of the secret police. Five years later, when she was just thirteen, she left her mother’s home and returned to Berlin, this time living on the Western side with friends. Julia is the daughter of an actress and granddaughter of a sculptor whose family history has provided the backdrop for some of her most powerful books. The Blind Side of the Heart (called the Blindness of the Heart in the US), tells the story of a woman who abandons her son on a railway platform in 1945 after surviving the horrors of the Second World War. It was a story based on her own father’s childhood, a man she only met at the age of fourteen. The novel won the German Book Prize, the highest honour for literature in Germany, and went on to sell over a million copies. Two more of her books have been translated into English: Back to Back, based on her uncle’s life at the time when the Berlin Wall was being built; and West, which was adapted for the screen. Julia’s recommended reads: Herta Müller Katja Oskamp Dana Vowinckel How I Wrote This is created and hosted by Pamela Hensley Presented by Knockabout Media (https://knockaboutmedia.com/).
