We are excited to welcome the acclaimed Austrian-Slovenian author Ana Marwan to the ACF London this winter. Marwan will read from and discuss her award-winning short story, Wechselkröte (True Toad), which earned her the prestigious Ingeborg Bachmann Literary Prize in 2022. She will be joined by journalist and broadcaster Seán Williams, who will engage with her in a lively discussion about the text, its themes, and the nuances of its English translation.
This bilingual event, hosted by Andrea Capovilla, promises to provide fascinating insights into Marwan’s literary work and the creative process behind her acclaimed writing. Join us for an enriching evening of literature and conversation!
Ana Marwan’s reading of extracts from the text will be followed by a discussion with Seán Williams and a Q&A. The evening is moderated by Andrea Capovilla, director of the Ingeborg Bachmann Centre for Austrian Literature & Culture.
This reading is accessible for non-German speakers.
The event is organised in cooperation with the Ingeborg Bachmann Centre for Austrian Literature & Culture at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (University of London).
