Matinée-Lesung mit Elina Penner – »Die Ubußfertigen«

In the organizer's words:

Matinée: On October 12, author Elina Penner will be coming to Pfefferwerk at 11:00 a.m. to read from her new book "Die Unbußfertigen". Author and journalist Lisa Ludwig will moderate the morning.

The web as an echo chamber, visibility as currency, silence as punishment.

Ten people, just like those produced by the internet, accept an invitation to a remote manor house. An event? Definitely, just without a reception. Among them is a mother who has turned her children into a brand. A bus driver between a healing stone and hate speech. An influencer with the most famous ass in the country. Three women with follower numbers like share prices. Seven men in the comments section. But suddenly everything is real. Offline. More and more of them disappear. And someone is watching.

Elina Penner, born a Soviet citizen in 1987, has been explaining for over 30 years why she is a Mennonite-Plautdietsche German and not a Russian. Thanks to her debut novel "Nightberries", published in 2022, there is less explaining to do. As she loves contrasts, she studied in both Bavaria and Berlin. She then left the USA altogether at some point and has been living back in her native East Westphalia for years, from where she runs the online magazine "Hauptstadtmutti". Her writing has appeared in Der Spiegel, Vogue and 11 Freunde. Aufbau Verlag has also published her book "Migrantenmutti".

An event in collaboration with Aufbau Verlag.
