SLATA ROSCHAL
reads her current poetry and prose

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.
