Miriam Stein will discuss her book, Berlin – Seoul – Berlin (2008), a literary memoir about a Korean-German adoptee’s first trip to her native South Korea since her birth there in the spring of 1977 against the historical background of international adoption from the 1950s – 1980s. Stein addresses the lingering question of all international adoptees: which culture do I belong to? Miriam Yung Min Stein, born in South Korea in 1977, grew up in West Germany in a German Baptist family. She lived in New York, London, and Cologne before moving to Berlin in 2001. There, she did some short format directing before settling as a writer and journalist. She has been a lecturer at various German universities and works full-time as a Features Director at Harper’s Bazaar Germany. Her latest book Das Fürchten verlernen was published by Suhrkamp in 2016.
