Frisch gepresst: Nora Schramm und „Hohle Räume“

In the organizer's words:

When the successful artist Helene visits her parents shortly before Christmas, the rooms of the familiar house seem strangely hollow, as if they cannot be filled with life despite her best efforts. The reason for her visit is her parents' divorce. Irritated, the daughter observes their every move and dissects them with linguistic wit.

WDR 5 said: "No one in German literature has ever written as brutally about espresso machines, sofas and carports as Nora Schramm. 'Hohle Räume' by Nora Schramm, who is just 30 years old, is a literary event!"

Nora Schramm, born in 1993, studied foreign languages and cultural studies in Giessen and theories and practices of professional writing in Cologne. In 2020/21, she took part in the "1:1" mentoring program of the Literaturbüro NRW.

Moderation: Michael Serrer, Literaturbüro NRW
