If you're in Berlin on Thursday, 9 November 2017, we would love to see you at the launch for Rixdorf Editions' very first two books – The Guesthouse at the Sign of the Teetering Globe by Franziska zu Reventlow, and of course a title of great local interest, Berlin's Third Sex by Magnus Hirschfeld. The venue is Neukölln's wonderful Curious Fox bookshop at Flughafenstr. 22 (Rathaus Neukölln/Boddinstr. if you're coming by U-Bahn).

There will be discussion of the two books and the era in which they arose, as well as readings by translator James J. Conway. Things will be kicking off at 8 pm, but come by from 7.30 onward to grab a drink, browse the splendidly stocked shelves and get your hands on fresh Rixdorf copies at a special launch discount.

Special thanks to Cara Schwartz for the postcard flyer.
