Poetry lectureship Cécile Wajsbrot 2018
The French author Cécile Wajsbrot was a DRESDEN Fellow at the Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie in the 2018/19 winter semester. In these events, she gave an insight into her writing and her latest novel Destruction, which was published in Paris in spring 2019.
Cécile Wajsbrot has received several awards as a French author, translator and literary scholar: she was awarded the Eugen Helmlé Translator's Prize in 2014, the Prix de l'Académie de Berlin in 2016 and has been a member of the German Academy of Poetry since 2017.
The author with Polish-Jewish roots lives alternately in Paris and Berlin and is therefore considered an exemplary representative of 'ZwischenWeltenSchreibens' (Ette 2005).
Her literary work develops into a 'single book' not only because of its (musical) coherence and coherence, but also because of a dense fabric of intertextual and intermedial references. Her most recent pentalogy of novels, which concludes with Destruction and which, due to its aesthetic form, takes the risk of a 'journey' to unknown continents of literature, thematizes the emergence of different art forms and their reception.
The following events took place as part of this poetry lectureship:
- 28.11.2018 - Cécile Wajsbrot: Destruction (2019) - reading and discussion
