Feministische Kampfansagen, Macht und Leidenschaften

In the organizer's words:

Herbert Kapfer in conversation with Malin Kraus about his new novel "Der Planet diskreter Liebe".

In 1975, the year of the woman, Bea says to Kai: "Everything has to change. We will no longer vegetate as second-class people in the shadow of men. I want to be at the forefront, a leader in a planetary movement against phallocracy. Leadership has to be learned. I'm just starting to train. Make sure you don't become my guinea pig." Literary scholar Malin Kraus talks to Herbert Kapfer about strategies, feminist declarations of war, power and passions.

Herbert Kapfer, born in Ingolstadt in 1954, is an author and journalist. From 1996 to 2017, he was head of the radio drama and media art department at BR. He was awarded the Tukan Prize for "1919. Fiktion" (2019).
