PARATAXE präsentiert: Angélica Freitas und Alan Pauls
In which languages does Berlin write? PARATAXE regularly invites Berlin authors who write in languages other than German to conversations, readings, and translations at various locations.
Berlin's Latin American literary scenes are extremely lively and astonishingly diverse - new literature from Berlin is strikingly often written in Spanish or Portuguese. We have invited two of the most important voices from these literary biotopes to the joint PARATAXE & ilb presentation on 31 May, at which the Berliner Literarische Aktion and the international literature festival berlin will present Berlin authors of international significance for the first time in cooperation.
The Brazilian poet Angélica Freitas is one of the most important voices in her country; her poetry collection „Der Uterus ist groß wie eine Faust“ (German by Odile Kennel) won the Premio APAC de poesia, among others. Alan Pauls is an award-winning Argentinian writer who was once described by Roberto Bolano as "one of the best living writers in Latin America".
An event in German plus Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish (with translations).
