A Conversation with Ulrike Draesner at the Literary Salon

In the fireplace room of the Ahlbecker Hof, you can look forward to

an intimate reading and a

thought-provoking conversation with Ulrike Draesner, the

winner of the 2015 Usedom Literature Prize, in an exclusive setting.

The central themes of this literary evening are her

latest book, “penelopes sch()iff,” as well as the multifaceted

connections to Homer’s classic “Odyssey”

and Christopher Nolan’s film adaptation. During the event, the

author will offer fascinating insights into her work and

explain how she has transformed this ancient heroic myth into

a powerful retelling from a female perspective.
