Frisch gepresst mit Simone Scharbert - „du, alice. eine anrufung"

In the organizer's words:

Since her posthumously published diary, Alice James has been regarded as an icon of early feminism. And yet her name is still almost unknown today, unlike that of her brothers, the novelist Henry James and the psychologist William James.

Simone Scharbert'sprose debut makes the tragedy of this life tangible in a stream of images and quotations: The story of a clever woman who is denied access to education.

Simone Scharbert, born in Aichach in 1974, lives in Erftstadt after studying in Munich, Augsburg and Vienna, where she works as an author and lecturer. She has received numerous awards (including from the Kunststiftung NRW and the Hausacher LeseLenz).

The event will be moderated by Michael Serrer, Literaturbüro NRW and is being held in cooperation with the Düsseldorf Central Library and the Freundeskreis Stadtbüchereien Düsseldorf.
