In The Smell of Burnt Eucalyptus (Orlanda Verlag) , Ennatu Domingo recounts her life as a girl in rural Ethiopia before being adopted by a Catalan family at the age of seven in the early 2000s after the death of her mother and brother. As an adult, the question of the causes of the misery of the Ethiopian rural population, especially the women, leaves her no peace. Ennatu Domingo works in the Catalan regional parliament and in various European institutions. Her autobiographical collection of stories will be published shortly before the Frankfurt Book Fair. In conversation with her German translator Michael Ebmeyer, she talks about her origins, belonging and the importance of language. An event organized by Orlanda Verlag and the Institute for Romance Studies at Frankfurt's Goethe University with the kind support of the Catalan Cultural Institute Ramon Llull.
