Schröder + Matthias Jügler

In the organizer's words:

With the author Matthias Jügler, Frankfurt literary critic Christoph Schröder is concluding his new four-part series "Schröder +" at the ROMANFABRIK, which he curates and moderates. He has not selected current new publications for this series, but rather authors he particularly appreciates, whose specific biographical experiences are reflected in their literary work in a special way. Schröder is interested in combining a showcase and a portrait, which he would like to discuss in detail with the authors. This time, Schröder introduces Matthias Jügler, who was born in Halle/Saale in 1984 and belongs to that highly interesting generation of East German authors whose memories of the GDR consist, if at all, only of childhood memories and who cast a new perspective on the vanished state in their writing. Jügler's novel Maifliegenzeit (Penguin) was awarded the Rheingau Literature Prize in 2024 and impresses with its poetic precision.

With the kind support of the Cultural Office of the City of Frankfurt and in cooperation with JOURNAL Frankfurt.
