JAGODA MARINIĆ TRIFFT ARUNDHATI ROY: MEINE ZUFLUCHT UND MEIN STURM

In the organizer's words:

She conquered world literature with her debut novel "The God of Small Things". Since then, ARUNDHATI ROY has not only been known as one of the most important writers of our time, but also as an uncompromising political voice and activist. Now Roy opens up her personal archive of memories in her memoir MEINE ZUFLUCHT UND MEIN STURM. In conversation with author and columnist JAGODA MARINIĆ, she talks about the death of her mother, her childhood in Kerala, her siblings and a young woman who breaks out to become a writer. It is a book about origins and new beginnings, about the inherited courage to resist, about today's India - and about an extraordinary mother-daughter relationship. German text: THERESE HÄMER
