This year’s Munk-Goethe Writer in Residence is German-Croatian author Jagoda Marinić. Born in Waiblingen (Germany) in 1977, Marinić studied German, English and political sciences in Heidelberg and now works as an author, dramatist and journalist dividing her time between New York and Heidelberg. At this event, Ms Marinić will read in German and English from her first novel “The Nameless”, a gentle picture of love paired with grief, aspiration and subtle humour.

Published in 2007, it is “absolute in its poetic earnestness, simple in its means. Marinić has a lot of anger and satirical humour and with that has written a book of despair, as black as a night in the mountains and as restless as a day in Berlin” (Der Spiegel).

Ms. Marinić is the third recipient of the Munk-Goethe Writers Residency which aims to foster German-Canadian exchange on European migration topics.
