Reading Alisha Gamisch “Parasiti”
Alisha Gamisch studied English and German studies in Munich and London and currently lives in Berlin. Her first poetry collection "Lustdorf" (Verlagshaus Berlin, 2020) was chosen by the House of Poetry as one of the best poetry debuts of the year. In 2022, she received the Nora-Pfeffer Prize for Poetry from the Bavarian Cultural Center of Germans from Russia, and in 2023 she was a fellow at the novel workshop of the Literary Colloquium Berlin. She is a founding member of the feminist association "Wepsert e.V." as well as a co-curator and moderator of the reading and discussion series "PostOst-Café" at the Maxim Gorki Theater in Berlin. Since 2025, she has been part of the literary girl band "No Scribes." "Parasiti" is her debut novel.

Parasiti
A letter causes an uproar in the lives of Rina, her aunt Valli, and her grandmother Lydia: overnight, the grandmother falls silent. Rina begins to ask questions – and against all odds, initiates a conversation between the generations. For she suspects that she has inherited not only the angular figure and the fondness for soap operas from her family but also their fears and insecurities.
Between Novosibirsk in the 1960s and Fürstenfeldbruck in a near present, Alisha Gamisch's debut novel follows the life paths of three Russian-German women.
