LiteraTour Nord: Mithu Sanyal

In the organizer's words:

Mithu Sanyal "Antichristie"
In cooperation with the University of Bremen and the Literaturkontor

Mithu Sanyal, born in Düsseldorf in 1971, is a cultural scientist, author, journalist and critic. Her first novel "Identitti" was published in 2021, was shortlisted for the German Book Prize and won several awards.

London 2022, the Queen is dead! Durga runs past the mourners: international screenwriter, daughter of an Indian and a German, and full of an appetite for rebellion and hallucinations. "Antichristie" questions colonialism and the violence in all of us. Durga is to work on a film adaptation of the super-British Agatha Christie thrillers. But suddenly it is 1906, and she meets Indian revolutionaries who are by no means fighting non-violently like Ghandi. What would real resistance be in a false world?
