FAMILY MATTERS: »STERBEN ÜBEN« LESUNG MIT KATHARINA FEIST-MERHAUT

In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Doctoral students of the Research Training Group

The Viennese author Katharina Feist-Merhaut accompanied her grandmother for over seven years, "practicing" dying with her, observing and interviewing her. The granddaughter is unsure at first, but the grandmother faces the process with humor and openness: "What do you want to understand about death?" In her search for possible answers, the narrator confronts the past. The debut novel "sterben üben" (Otto Müller Verlag) is a text about care and imposition, closeness and distance, about family history(ies) and the possibility of telling stories differently - also about dying.

Organizer: Graduate School "Family Matters" at the LMU // in cooperation with the Stiftung Literaturhaus
