Lunch Lecture mit Karosh Taha

In the organizer's words:

At the Wednesday Ritual of Literary Writing: With Karosh Taha, we travel far into the past to the Sumerian poet Enheduanna, who is considered to be the first female author in human history whose works were handed down in writing.

"About the city that did not surrender
About the city that denied"

Enheduanna, Nin me šara, The Exaltation of Inanna, trans. by R. Schrott in: "Die Erfindung der Poesie", Franfurt/M., Eichborn.

Karosh Taha is a Kurdish-German writer. She studied English and history at the University of Duisburg-Essen and in the USA. She has received several awards for her writing, including the Hohenems Literature Prize and the Rolf-Dieter Brinkmann Scholarship. Most recently, she published "Beschreibung einer Krabbenwanderung" (2019) and "Im Bauch der Königin" (2020), for which she received the Alfred Döblin Medal in 2021.
