Goethe-Institut USA, which promotes German culture abroad, is sending Sonali Beher and Iven Yorick Fenker on a four-week road trip from New York to Houston to deepen the bond between both nations. In Washington, for example, Sonali Beher and Iven Yorick Fenker will be appearing in a pizzeria, while in West Chester, Pennsylvania, they'll be reading in a huge antique bookshop in a former barn. Beher, born in 1997, and Fenker, born in 1994, both studied at the German Institute for Literature in Leipzig. The two young authors, who've already spent time the US before this project, are looking forward to some lively debate and exchange of ideas. Iven Yorick Fenker grew up in the Harz, a border region between eastern and western Europe.
