Ilija Matusko: Verdunstung in der Randzone
In the organizer's words:
A literary debut about the contradictions of social advancement
"It smells like fries, Ilija is coming!" - Based on this sentence from a classmate, Ilija Matusko traces the art of frying and smell as a social differentiator in his clever volume Evaporation in the Marginal Zone. He writes about social background from the semi-distance of the educational climber. "No day off" - that's what it says on the sign at the entrance. Ilija's parents run a restaurant. Even as a child, he helps in the kitchen, growing up with chips and deep fryers. They always move when the business is no longer running and the parents open a new restaurant. A literary-biographical self-interrogation.
Ilija Matusko, born in 1980, studied sociology and political science. He lives in Berlin and writes for the taz newspaper, among others. He has received numerous scholarships for his literary work. His debut was published by Suhrkamp Verlag.
