Die Wut ist ein heller Stern

Location:
Literaturhaus Stuttgart, Breitscheidstr. 4, 70174 Stuttgart

Reading and discussion with Anja Kampmann, moderated by Helmut Böttiger

Her first novel "Wie hoch die Wasser steigen" made waves in 2018, was translated many times and was a finalist for the National Book Award. "Wut ist ein heller Stern" is Anja Kampmann's new novel, in which we meet Hedda, who has fought for her dream as an artist in the "Alkazar" on the Reeperbahn. But nothing seems to matter anymore when new uniforms appear in the 1930s as a matter of course. The space for freedom narrows and things become dangerous for the girls in the variety show too. Who can Hedda still trust? Her brother Jaan signs on as a harpoon smith on a whaler for a trip to the Antarctic. And Hedda is also looking for a way out for herself and her little brother Pauli. Anja Kampmann tells a story of female self-assertion in her own atmospheric language. Born in Hamburg in 1983, she made her debut in 2016 with her poetry collection "Proben von Stein und Licht".
