A Biography Between Fame and Inner Danger

Dieter Burdorf, Professor of Modern German Literature and Literary Theory at the University of Leipzig, approaches Bachmann not as a monument but as a contradictory, highly sensitive personality. The publisher describes the book as a biography based on new sources that brings together Bachmann's work, her correspondence, and her European networking. This perspective promises a reading that sets literary history and contemporary debate in an intensive dialogue.

Why This Evening is Important

Ingeborg Bachmann remains one of the most influential voices of post-war literature. Her poetry, her narratives, and her writing between language, relationship, and self-assertion continue to spark discussions today. Those who experience Burdorf's biographical approach live not only gain insight into a new nonfiction book but also into a cultural memory point that makes literature a spiritual presence.

The audience can expect a demanding reading with biographical depth, musical framing, and a place that carries the quiet tone of the evening. Those who want to read, hear, and see Bachmann anew should experience this date live in Bonn.
