»Wie die Wahrheit auch immer ist, die Legende ist schöner.«
(“However the truth may be, the legend is more beautiful.”)

It was a great pleasure and honor to welcome Michael Köhlmeier to WestLicht, where he presented his new book DORNHELM. ROMAN EINER BIOGRAFIE — a work born from more than forty years of friendship with film director Robert Dornhelm.

From Grace Kelly’s off-screen narration in Dornhelm’s first Oscar-nominated film in 1977 to their shared days in Hollywood, the book unfolds stories filled with humor, melancholy, and cinema.

A heartfelt thank-you to Michael Köhlmeier, Robert Dornhelm, and to Zsolnay Verlag for this special evening — and to everyone who shared it with us!
