zwischen/miete nrw mit Fiona Sironic

In the organizer's words:

This is what the organizer says:

Fiona Sironic reads from her debut novel "Am Samstag gehen die Mädchen in den Wald und jagen Sachen in die Luft":

A life with climate crisis, the post-influencer era and the question: What remains when everything burns? You can expect an evening with a dystopian coming-of-age story - including talks and drinks.

What's it all about?

Between preservation and destruction, transience and new beginnings - a first love in the shadow of the crisis.

There is a fire. In the woods and on the screens. 15-year-old Era lives with her mother on the edge of the forest and tries to counter the creeping process of destruction by documenting the extinction of birds. In one stream, she observes her classmate Maja and her sister Merle blowing up hard drives in the neighboring clearing. Maja is the daughter of two momfluencers who is trying to erase the memories of a public childhood. While Era keeps notebooks, makes drawings and tries to organize all the knowledge she has access to, Maja forms a destructive counterforce. Nevertheless, Era and Maja are connected in their search for intimacy and analog stimuli. While the turtle dove dies out, the two fall in love. But not only the birds are threatened: when a large-scale fire destroys the forest, the girls also lose a significant part of their habitat.

What is it?

"zwischen/miete nrw" is a reading series organized by students from various cities and takes place in private rooms, usually in shared flats. In an unconventional setting and in a relaxed atmosphere, authors read from their debut novels and are open for discussions afterwards.

Funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. In cooperation with the University of Cologne.
