'You wouldn't be able to put it down' SAMANTHA ROSE HILL

For years after I tried to tell myself that what happened between us was hardly worth remembering.

About the book:
Harvard, 1996. Anna is about to graduate when she meets Christoph, a German student visiting campus. They only spend a week together – discussing art, ideas and history – but it is long enough for Anna to fall desperately in love. Anna begins to visit Christoph in Germany. As she tries to understand the young, elegant man who fascinates her, he reveals his country to her.

Germany is still reckoning with the Holocaust and its pretty new squares and grand facades belie its recent history and the war’s destruction. Christoph condemns his country’s actions but remains vague about the part his own grandparents played. Anna’s grandfather, meanwhile, was an American GI who took photos of the end of the war, photos that capture its horror, preserved in a scrapbook only Anna has seen.

Anna wants to believe in Christoph and the future he promises her but as their relationship becomes increasingly unsettling, she must face up to everything she has been unwilling to see, and everything Christoph has chosen to ignore.

‘An Illustrated Book of Pointless Movie Facts’ is the new book written and illustrated by Irish artist John Rooney.

* Doors open at 19:00. The event will start at 19:30. Free entry.

Do you know which actors were originally supposed to play the Ghostbusters? Or which film first showed a toilet flushing on screen? Of course you don’t, you have a life. But luckily for you, John has willingly absorbed quite a vast number of absolutely pointless facts about many, many movies throughout the years and has now decided to illustrate a bunch of them in this book for your own pleasure.

And what better way to celebrate the launch of his new book than with a Movie Trivia Quiz taking place on Saturday 12th July in his favourite bookshop, Curious Fox, in the city of Berlin, where John used to live.
