SLATA ROSCHAL liest ihre aktuelle Lyrik und Prosa
Die Autorin Slata Roschal ist in diesem Sommer Stipendiatin im Lüneburger Heinrich-Heine-Haus. Für den Abstecher ins Literaturhaus hat sie ihren neuen Gedichtband »Ich brauche einen Waffenschein ein neues bitteres Parfüm ein Haus in dem mich keiner kennt« (Das Wunderhorn) und ihren aktuellen Roman »Ich möchte Wein trinken und auf das Ende der Welt warten« (Claassen) im Gepäck. Außerdem gibt sie Kostproben aus dem Roman, an dem sie gerade arbeitet und der voraussichtlich nächstes Jahr erscheint. Darin versuchen zwei Gäste im Zimmer eines noblen Hotels, das die Wintersaison gerade mit einer Lesung eröffnet, den Tod des Autors auf verschiedenen Ebenen zu entziffern. Was bedeutet es, wenn Literatur zum Luxusgut erhoben wird, inwieweit kann sie soziale Klassen aufbrechen? Warum ist etwa die Arbeit von Reinigungskräften, Köchen, Unternehmensberatern unterschiedlich viel wert? Im Mittelpunkt des Textes stehen verschiedene Phänomene der Arbeitswelt, die aufeinanderprallen und ad absurdum geführt werden.
Die promovierte Slawistin Slata Roschal ist eine der interessantesten Stimmen der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur. Für ihr literarisches Schaffen erhielt sie zahlreiche Stipendien und Preise. Ihr Romandebüt »153 Formen des Nichtseins« war 2022 für den Deutschen Buchpreis nominiert.

The author Slata Roschal is a fellow at the Heinrich-Heine-Haus in Lüneburg this summer. For her detour to the Literature House, she brings along her new poetry collection "I need a gun license a new bitter perfume a house where no one knows me" (Das Wunderhorn) and her current novel "I want to drink wine and wait for the end of the world" (Claassen). In addition, she will present excerpts from the novel she is currently working on, which is expected to be released next year. In it, two guests in the room of a prestigious hotel, which has just opened the winter season with a reading, try to decipher the author's death on various levels. What does it mean when literature is elevated to a luxury good, to what extent can it break down social classes? Why is the work of cleaners, cooks, and management consultants valued differently? The text focuses on various phenomena of the working world that collide and are absurdly challenged.
The doctorate holder in Slavic studies Slata Roschal is one of the most interesting voices in contemporary German-language literature. For her literary work, she has received numerous fellowships and awards. Her debut novel "153 Forms of Non-Being" was nominated for the German Book Prize in 2022.
