Zwei Autorinnen von internationalem Rang sind fast drei Jahrzehnte lang, von 1962 bis 1990, miteinander im Austausch: über das Schreiben, den Literaturbetrieb im Osten wie im Westen, über die Männer, die Kinder, die Arbeit im Garten und die politischen Systeme, in denen sie leben. Letztere sind es wohl, die diese Freundschaft an ein Ende bringen, nach vielen Jahren des vertrauensvollen Miteinanders. Streng und verspielt, heiter und verzweifelt, schnoddrig und ehrlich - Sarah Kirsch und Christa Wolf beim Schreiben und Leben zuzuhören ist ein Geschenk.

Von Virginia Woolfs herzzerreißendem Abschiedsbrief an ihren Mann bis zum höchsteigenen Eierkuchen-Rezept von Queen Elizabeth II. an US-Präsident Eisenhower; von Gandhis Friedensersuch an Adolf Hitler bis zu Iggy Pops wundervollem Brief an einen jungen weiblichen Fan in Not, zelebriert und dokumentiert "Letters of Note" die Faszination der geschriebenen Korrespondenz mit all dem Humor, der Ernsthaftigkeit, der Traurigkeit und Verrücktheit, die unser Leben ausmachen. Prominente Autoren, Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler lassen die Briefe durch ihre Stimmen lebendig werden.

Hannah Arendt und Mary McCarthy lernen sich 1945 in einer Bar in Manhattan kennen, werden Freundinnen und schreiben sich über fünfundzwanzig Jahre lang Briefe.

Hier begegnen sich Judentum und Katholizismus, europäische Bildung und politische Kultur Amerikas, deutsche Universitätstradition und Upper-Class-College-Erziehung.
