Judith Schalansky talks about her book Verzeichnis einiger Verluste, published in October, which won the Wilhelm Raabe-Literaturpreis 2018 and, just like Der Hals der Giraffe (The Neck of the Giraffe), became press and audience favourite.
Verzeichnis einiger Verluste deals equally with »searching and finding, losing and winning, and shows that the difference between presence and absence may be marginal as long as memories exist - and that literature makes it possible to experience how close preservation and destruction, loss and creation are to one another.« (published by Suhrkamp Verlag, 2018)
The reading will be opened by Prof. Dr. Winfried Speitkamp (President of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar) and will be moderated by Dr. Harun Maye (IKKM).
