Şeyda Kurt: Zeit der Monster - Reading and Conversation

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 vivid pop, between existential opera and warm soap opera, Şeyda Kurt asks what possibilities emerge when all order collapses. Sanya and her colourful chosen family are deeply entangled in the history of their community, stretching across borders and time. Can we live differently? This stirring, sharp debut novel answers: yes.
