Dorothee Elmiger: Die Holländerinnen

In the organizer's words:

Reading as part of the LiteraTour Nord, moderated by Matthias Lorenz

ON THE SHORTLIST FOR THE GERMAN BOOK PRIZE 2025!

With her warning lights flashing, the narrator, an unnamed writer, pulls over to the side of the road when she receives an unexpected phone call. On the line is a celebrated theater producer who is trying to win her over for his latest project - a play set in the tropics, the reconstruction of a case. A few weeks later, she sets off to join the theater group on their journey deep into the jungle.

Dorothee Elmiger lives as a freelance author and translator in New York. Her books "Einladung an die Waghalsigen" (2010), "Schlafgänger" (2014) and "Aus der Zuckerfabrik" have been translated into numerous languages and adapted for the stage.

Matthias Lorenz is Professor of Modern German Literature and Comparative Literature at Leibniz Universität Hannover and Extraordinary Professor at Stellenbosch University in South Africa.
