Conversation
What is at the centre of contemporary German-language literature? What do these books say about our western neighbours and a world shaken by various crises?
The first book selection of the Litrix.de programme makes it clear that literature belongs above all to women, whose strong voice can be heard in children's and young adult literature as well as in fiction. The programme deals with topics such as loss, coping with grief and illness, the fascinating examination of the myth of innocent childhood and questions of violence, silence and shame. Among the suggested titles is the novel ‘Hey guten Morgen, wie geht es dir’, which was honoured with the German Book Prize last year. In it, the protagonist experiences human closeness and a kind of freedom through social media. In the non-fiction book ‘Takt. On closeness and distance in human interaction’, the author calls for restraint and polite distance, especially on social media. In an interview with Marcin Wilk, translators of German-language literature talk about the variety of topics of the books on the German book market that were of most interest to the expert jury.
Discussion with the literary translators Kamil Idzikowski, Ewa Mikulska-Frindo, Mark Ordon, Małgorzata Słabicka-Turpeinen, Dorota Stroińska, Zofia Sucharska, Agata Teperek and Anna Wziątek.
