Herz König - Reading with Lily King

Moderation: Marie Schoeß
Reading: Anna Drexler (Residenztheater)

With "Euphoria", Lily King established herself as one of the significant voices of contemporary American literature - "an exceptionally good writer" (The Guardian). In her new novel "Herz König" (C.H.Beck, translated by Eva Bonné), writer Jordan reflects on her final year of studies: two extraordinary young men and a connection between friendship and love that unexpectedly returns to her life decades later. King explores the power of memory and asks why certain decisions echo throughout a lifetime.

Anna Drexler, ensemble member of the Residenztheater and recipient of the FAUST 2024 award, reads from the German translation.
