Şeyda Kurt: Zeit der Monster - Reading and Talk

The setting is a city neighbourhood. The time is the apocalypse - or so a growing number of people believe, driven by a prophecy racing through the internet. Through the wild, broken quarter where people still stick together, young Sanya roams with a pistol in her backpack, until one day she encounters a strange figure.

Somewhere between furious epic and pop, between existential opera and soap opera, Şeyda Kurt asks what possibilities emerge when all order collapses. Sanya and her vivid chosen family are deeply entangled in the history of their community, stretching across borders and time.

Şeyda Kurt visits Alte Feuerwache in Mannheim to read from her debut novel and discuss the book.
