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.
Venue: Goethe-Institut,
150 Cuba Street
