Bianca Schaalburg's new graphic novel “Emma und Amir” will be published in November by Jacoby & Stuart. The author and illustrator will present the beginning of her comic in a panel reading and highlight special scenes that reference films or take place in Berlin cinemas. There will be a discussion with the publisher, followed by a get-together at the Kinobar, where Bianca Schaalburg will also sign her books.

About

Amir, of German-Arab descent, comes under police scrutiny after a suspected Islamist attack in Neukölln, in which his friend Yusuf is killed and Amir is suspected of being the perpetrator. To prove their innocence, Amir and Emma, a woman from Berlin, set off for Paris, where they uncover a right-wing extremist conspiracy. We follow the breathless story through swimming pools, cemeteries, parks—and repeatedly to the cinemas of Berlin and Paris.
