A literary evening about dementia, dignity, and quiet storytelling
With My Name is Klara, the reading at the Gauting municipal library focuses on a topic that connects literature and reality in a profound way. On September 23, 2026, author and hospice coordinator Marion Jettenberger invites you to an evening that brings together personal experience, professional insight, and touching artistry of language.
Two voices, a moving memory repository
The novel tells from two perspectives: Klara describes her experience of dementia as someone affected, while her daughter outlines the path of care, closeness, and farewell. This dual voice gives the text literary depth and makes the inner turmoil as visible as the power of affection and everyday practice. This creates an atmosphere of reading that not only informs but also carries emotionally.
Literary quality with social relevance
Marion Jettenberger writes from a professional background that connects palliative care, hospice work, and geriatric psychiatry with the perspective of a storyteller. Her biography shows an author who conveys expertise not in a dry manner but translates it into narrative images, experiential closeness, and understandable language. This is precisely the strength of this evening: literature becomes a means to access a sensitive societal issue.
For relatives, caregivers, and all with literary curiosity
The event is aimed at people seeking orientation, as well as readers interested in contemporary literature with a humanistic core. Professional impulses and practical tips complement the book reading and open a space for exchange, reflection, and concrete questions from everyday care. This makes the evening more than a classical reading: it becomes an encounter with the author that offers real value in understanding.
Location with closeness, calm, and good accessibility
The Gauting municipal library is centrally located at Bahnhofstraße 7 and is designed as a venue for short routes, barrier-free access, and a cultivated, quiet atmosphere. For visitors, the surroundings of the station and the community offer good connections as well as parking options in the area. The setting fits an event that rewards concentration and contemplation.
Conclusion
My Name is Klara promises an evening between literature, life assistance, and empathy. Those interested in worthwhile contemporary literature, dementia, caregiving, and an intense literary experience should witness this reading live. It broadens the perspective on the vulnerability of old age and the language with which understanding can grow.
