German Writers on the Road to Read

Two emerging voices from Germany share their writing and perspectives in an evening of readings and conversation at Books & Books in Coconut Grove.

German Writers on the Road to Read takes place Monday, September 29, featuring Sonali Beher and Iven Yorick Fenker, both students at the German Institute for Literature Leipzig. As part of the Goethe-Institut USA’s ON THE ROAD/UNTERWEGS initiative, the authors are traveling the East Coast to engage audiences through literature and dialogue. The Miami program includes readings in English and German followed by a conversation moderated by Oliver Gorf.

Beher’s work spans prose, essays and drama, exploring intersections of identity, politics and womanhood, while Fenker writes across fiction, film and journalism, often drawing on themes of masculinity, love and the divided landscapes of his upbringing. Admission is free with RSVP, though space is limited.
