Writer in Residence | Centre for Anglo-German Cultural Relations
27 January 2020
Karen Köhler reads from her work. In Miroloi, a village on an island with burdensome traditions and laws is described by a protagonist who is not an accepted member of the small community. This foundling – who is as yet unnamed – is subject to the village’s rules, but does not enjoy any of its privileges. At least not officially – the young woman learns to read and write even though this is strictly forbidden for women.

Her works range from plays to radio plays and from novels to stories.
