»Das ist die Geschichte des Musikers Johannes Elias Alder, der zweiundzwanzigjährig sein Leben zu Tode brachte, nachdem er beschlossen hatte, nicht mehr zu schlafen.« – Mit seinem Debütroman über das Leben und Sterben eines musikalischen Genies in einem österreichischen Bergdorf gelang Robert Schneider ein sensationeller Welterfolg, der in über 30 Sprachen übersetzt, erfolgreich verfilmt und zu einem Klassiker der Gegenwart wurde. Quelle: Klappentext Reclam Verlag "Schlafes Bruder" ist ein ferner Nachkomme deutscher Romantiker, Novalis, Tieck und E.T.A. Hoffmann haben Pate gestanden. Schneiders Sprache ist durchsetzt von altertümlich klingendem Deutsch, viel Dialekt, phantastischen Wortschöpfungen - und von einer Menge Pathos getränkt. Es ist ein sprachmächtiges Buch, das schon beim Erscheinen vor einem Vierteljahrhundert aus der Zeit gefallen schien. Heute wirkt dieser Effekt noch stärker. Das spricht nicht gegen den Roman. "Schlafes Bruder" von Robert Schneider entzieht sich den allermeisten Kategorien der deutschsprachigen Literatur der letzten Jahrzehnte - ein literarisches Unikum. Quelle: DW Kultur

Ascia 😁 ———————— ¿Estás cansada de reírte en “HAHA” y no en “JAJA”? ¡Zúrich también se ríe en español! **La Tarima** es un open mic de comedia 100% en español, donde latinos con historias, acentos y traumas convertidos en chistes se suben al escenario sin miedo (o con miedo, pero igual se suben). Ven a reírte con comediantes que no superan a sus ex, inmigrantes que convierten el sufrimiento en material, y gente que simplemente habla demasiado… en español.

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

While some are still meeting online, this is an in person event. Please note that we have attendees of all levels of speaking, including some native speakers. All are welcome! Also, as we meet at the same time and place each week, many don’t RSVP on the app, so we will likely have more attendees than noted here. Note: if you are asked to pay and upgrade the Meetup app, this is not necessary. You can ignore this and still attend our meetings. Find us on our [Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EKw86WJCp/?mibextid=wwXIfr).
