Literature days in Solothurn

Solothurn is the capital town of the canton Solothurn. The canton where I was born and grew up, my roots are exactly in a geographical region called „Niederamt“ and it’s on the foothills of the jurassic-range.
I moved at the age of 24 to the neighbour-canton Aargau and I live since then here.

Solothurn is also well-known for the annual literature days. Well-known or nearly famous authors come here to introduce their new books with readings. It was a honour for me to be here, being a member of the femscript-network of writing women and introduce my book at the stand to the visitors.

I had the pleasure to join Feridun Zaimoglu’s introduction and new book, it was very amusing and a little bit different from the common readings, we had a lot to laugh. Feridun has an unbeatable good sense of humour!

Foire du livre St. Louis/France

Salut!

The ASIS (Association of the italian writers in Switzerland) has been invited to take part at the book fair in St. Louis. I had no reading there, we „only“ had our stand and introduced our association to the visitors and make it well-known to the neighbour-country.

BuchBasel

Hallo!

For the 2nd time I was invited for a reading at the book fair in Basel. This time I took the opportunity to make the IG Secondas and our ideas well-known too, wearing the shirt and sensitize to the coming election about releaved naturalization.

I wrote about the topic migration and I am a daughter of the 1st generation imigrants, so my background is done and I am like many others in a transition generation. In a few months there will be the important election about naturalization of imigrants, I’ll write in a later article about!

Basel

go for the 2nd time!

Odd Fellows

Have you ever thought about the meaning of life, to find your inner values, questioning them and then to live?

Each of us has this moment and then follows this way.

I was invited for a reading at the women’s Odd Fellows Lodge in Aarau. Historical the Odd Fellows are mentioned in the 13th century and then in the 18th century it developed to the Odd Fellow Order.

The principles of the Odd Fellows is the thought of the releaf action and the three leading sentences are the foundation of the community: friendship, love and truth.

Three values that my family taught me!

After the reading we enjoyed a typical argentinian meal

Theatre in the cellar

The Theater im Keller 62 is located in Zurich and very small with space for nearly 60 visitors. I had the opportunity to see, how my written work suits as a theatre play. The actor Bodo Krummewiede put on stage passages of my book. I was in the first row interested to listen, because the other actor, Matthias, commented and critizised. Both regret it, that me as author wasn’t graspable in the story. They wanted to feel more about me in it.
But in a certain way it’s a part of my personality, my close friends confirmed that I’m neither graspable for them, although they know me for a long time…

A human can never be find out deep!
