Reading "I'm not a foreigner, that's just my name"
On Thursday, May 12th Amir Shaheen will read from his novel I'm not a foreigner, that's just my name in the Bücherwelt bookstore. The event starts at 8 p.m. If a German native speaker has an Arabic name, it raises legitimate questions in everyday life. If someone like Amir Shaheen is also a writer and publishes books, then it makes sense to want to know whether his texts are translated - into German! Amir Shaheen describes in a pointed and witty manner what his name alone can trigger among his fellow bio-Germans in this country. He describes his experiences in an entertaining and extremely amusing way. At the same time, it invites you to take a critical look at widespread pigeonholing and what are supposed to be self-evident, to examine expectations and prejudices, to become aware of what is often only well-intentioned and also of the omnipresent scissors in your head... Amir Shaheen, born in Lüdenscheid in 1966, studied...

Reading with Angelika Sinn "Between Heaven and Tündük"
On Thursday, April 7th, at 6 p.m., Angelika Sinn will read from her Kyrgyz travel journal “Between Heaven and Tündük”. This takes place as part of the artist Neeharika Donau Hossain's exhibition at Onil Gallery. About the book: Angelika Sinn's travel journal is a story about the encounter with a wondrous country - Kyrgyzstan. An invitation to a symposium for artists and writers takes the author to a yurt camp on the remote mountain lake Issyk Kul. There the foreign natural landscape becomes a profound experience. In poetic images, Angelika Sinn tells how Kyrgyzstan “catapults” her out of her familiar “worlds”. But unexpected encounters with locals, an almost kidnapping or an overnight stay in a guesthouse that turns out to be a brothel also allow readers to share in this special experience that “the smell of wet felt” can conjure up even at home. Angelika Sinn lives and works in Worpswede and Bremen. She studied pedagogy as well as literary and cultural studies and works…
Reading and conversation with Habib Tengour - "The Old Man from the Mountains"
Vom 15.–19. Mai finden die 25. Heidelberger Literaturtage statt. Am Donnerstag, den 16. Mai, liest Habib Tengour im Rahmen des Festivals aus seinem Roman „Der Alte vom Berge”. Die Lesung erfolgt sowohl in deutscher als auch französischer Sprache. Moderiert wird die Lesung von Hans Thill und Regina Keil-Sagawe, der Übersetzerin des Buches. Wir laden alle herzlich zu dieser Veranstaltung ein! Er gilt als „eine der kraftvollsten und phantasievollsten dichterischen Stimmen des postkolonialen frankophonen Maghreb” (Pierre Joris). Gleichsam visionär greift Habib Tengour in seinen Büchern Themen auf, die erst Jahre später in den medialen Fokus rücken. Im Alten von Berge, an dem er von 1977–1981 schreibt, spürt er dem religiösen Totalitarismus nach, fragt nach der Verantwortung des Intellektuellen gegenüber Krieg, Korruption und ideologischer Verhärtung, der Eignung von Religion, Wissenschaft, Politik als gangbaren Wegen zur „Wahrheit”. Mehr Informationen zur Veranstaltung. Tickets bekommt ihr hier. Interessiert am Festival? Dann besucht gerne…

Ein junger Mann, der zur gleichen Zeit in die Berge geflohen ist, wird von den Menschen im Ort verdächtigt an dem Verbrechen Schuld zu sein.
