Marlene Streeruwitz
Austria
Marlene Streeruwitz was born in 1950 in Baden bei Wien. Her wide-ranging works (novels, radio plays, theater plays, essays) have established her as an extraordinarily important and politically prominent voice in German-language literature. For many writers and readers, she not only represents a conscience, but also a critical authority with which they can orient their moral compasses. In 2020, she was honored with the Literature Houses Prize. Since then, she has been publishing without interruption; readers can track her publications on her website. Her 2023 novel, Tage im Mai: Roman dialogué (Days in May: A Novel in Dialogue), tells of a mother-daughter relationship threatening to shatter against the present. At the same time, it makes this same present—between a sense of being overwhelmed and isolated and an exchange that takes places only through Netflix series—visible in a virtuosic way. In 2024, Streeruwitz’s Handbuch für die Liebe (Handbook for Love) was published. Through miniatures, it shows that love is more than a feeling and is there to save our freedoms and our democracies.
