Reading & Discussion
Cécile Wajsbrot & Marcel Beyer: “Nevermore” – A conversation about memory, writing, and translation
A photo collage featuring a photograph by Cécile Wajsbrot and the cover of her book *Nevermore*, published by Wallstein Verlag in 2021.
Literary Discussion
How does one write about destruction, finitude, and the passing of time? How does one translate this experience into language, and how does one translate it from one language to another? Shortly before the commemoration of February 13, two authors who have both repeatedly engaged with themes of contemporary history will discuss these questions: Cécile Wajsbrot, most recently in her novel “Nevermore” (Wallstein Verlag, Leipzig Book Fair Prize 2022), which is set in Dresden and centers on a translator, and Marcel Beyer, author of the Dresden-set novel “Kaltenburg,” which Cécile Wajsbrot has translated into French.
Cécile Wajsbrot, born in Paris in 1954 to Polish Jewish parents, lives as an author and translator in Paris and Berlin.
Marcel Beyer, born in 1965, lived in Cologne for many years before settling in Dresden in 1996. He writes essays, poetry, and novels and has received numerous awards.
Co-organized by: Centrum Frankreich | Frankophonie TU Dresden, Dresden Public Libraries, and Institut Français Sachsen
In German.
Admission: €9 / €6 with a valid library card from the Dresden Public Libraries. Tickets available online or at the Herkuleskeule ticket counter on the ground floor of the Kulturpalast Dresden.
Free admission for students.
WHEN: February 9, 2023, 7:30 p.m.
