Kevin Vennemann, who divides his time between Berlin and Vienna, is considered to be one of Germany’s most talented young novelists. His second novel, Mara Kogoj, was published by Suhrkamp in 2007 and his first, Nahe Jedenew (2005), has been translated into English. His writing is full of precise and subtle detail yet is driven by a strong and passionate engagement with political and psychological themes. He has been presented with several awards, and in the spring of 2008, was the Villa Aurora writer in residence in Los Angeles.

This reading (in German), which is presented through the auspices of the Department's Literaturzirkel, will be followed by a discussion.
