Dana Vowinckel Presents The World in a Ziplock Bag

Dana Vowinckel introduces her novel The World in a Ziplock Bag, a story about an unconventional family split between Berlin, Chicago and Tel Aviv, providing a moving portrait of contemporary Jewish life. As Daniela Dröscher put it: »Reading Dana Vowinckel means: to suffer, to laugh, to learn, all at the same time. May she please keep on telling stories. I would like to read a hundred more of her books.«
