Slata Roschal

In the organizer's words:

The author Slata Roschal is a fellow at Lüneburg's Heinrich Heine House this summer. She will be bringing her new poetry collection "Ich brauche einen Waffenschein ein neues bitteres Parfüm ein Haus in dem mich keiner kennt" (Das Wunderhorn) and her latest novel "Ich möchte Wein trinken und auf das Ende der Welt warten" (Claassen) with her to the Literaturhaus. She will also be giving samples from the novel she is currently working on, which is expected to be published next year.

In it, two guests try to decipher the author's death on different levels in the room of a posh hotel that is just opening the winter season with a reading. What does it mean when literature is elevated to a luxury good, to what extent can it break down social classes? Why, for example, is the work of cleaners, cooks and management consultants worth different amounts? The text focuses on various phenomena in the world of work that clash and are taken ad absurdum.

Slata Roschal, who holds a doctorate in Slavic studies, is one of the most interesting voices in contemporary German-language literature. She has received numerous grants and prizes for her literary work. Her debut novel "153 Formen des Nichtseins" was nominated for the German Book Prize in 2022.
