Ronya Othmann liest aus „Vierund­siebzig“

In the organizer's words:

"I have seen. The ego is a witness. It speaks, and yet it has no language." This is how Ronya Othmann describes the process of storytelling in her new novel. She wants to find a form for the unspeakable, the genocide of the Ezidi population, the seventy-fourth, committed by IS fighters in Shingal in 2014. The author has created a work of immense density, necessary clarity and harshness, a radically poetic form of documentary storytelling.

Ronya Othmann, born in Munich in 1993 to a German mother and a Kurdish-Ezidi father, writes poetry, prose and essays and works as a journalist. She was awarded the Düsseldorf Literature Prize 2024, among others.
