From Germany to NZ: Inka Parei in Wellington on 23rd March



German writer Inka Parei has been blogging from a campervan on the South Island as part of a mobile writer’s residency sponsored by the Goethe-Institut. You can read about her travels so far here. Inka’s first novel in English-language translation The Shadow Boxing Woman was published by Seagull last year. Inka and her translator Katy Derbyshire were recently nominated for the Best Translated Book Award. Inka’s second and third novels are also being translated by Katy for Seagull Books, and you can get a preview in the current issue of Sport.

Come along and meet Inka in Wellington on Friday 23rd March. This time the Temporary Literaturhaus will be “housed” by the Goethe-Institut in Wellington. Join us at 17.30 for a glass of wine before we get going at 18.00. Please RSVP by 21st March to arts@wellington.goethe.org.
