Zeit der Monster - Şeyda Kurt

Reading and conversation with Şeyda Kurt, moderated by Lotta Mayer

In her debut novel "Zeit der Monster", Şeyda Kurt explores what possibilities emerge from the collapse of all order. Young Sanya and her chosen family are deeply entangled in the history of their community and their neighborhood - a wild, broken district where people hold together despite everything. With a pistol in her backpack, Sanya roams this world until one day she encounters a strange figure.

Şeyda Kurt, born in 1992, has worked for Zeit Online and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, as well as on podcasts. In 2023, her bestseller "HASS. Von der Macht eines widerständigen Gefühls" was published.
