Kirsten Fuchs – Muttermund tut Wahrheit kund

In the organizer's words:

Kirsten Fuchs is a master of serious nonsense. She can feel her way in and out of everyone and everything. Fuchs is a person of the heart and that's what makes her stories so human, comforting and true. She writes so funny about really everything, as if it wasn't about what happens, but how you look at it. She still sees everything through rose-smudged glasses with scratches, but now she also has tinnitus that calls "cuckoo".

With her short story collection "Muttermund tut Wahrheit kund", which will be published in the autumn, Kirsten Fuchs strikes the right balance between humor and finesse.

"Her texts are extremely funny. And clever. And full of nasty little truths about us and the world." - Marc-Uwe Kling
