Katja Oskamp: Reading in the cinema church - insights into your world!

After an inspiring hike in the Harz, which she had over 200 kilometers, the writer Katja Oskamp has returned and is just spraying with creative ideas. In an interview with the SVZ she tells how she feels a bit ducking after the vacation and is busy writing with many thoughts. A special project that she has been following lately is a text about an Baltic Sea tour with her father, which took place on the 80th birthday of the elderly man. She has emotionally touched the memory of the hikes through Brandenburg and Mecklenburg, its childhood locations.

creative writing has always been a valve to capture her feelings and thoughts. Born in Leipzig, who saw the light of day in 1970, worked as a dramaturge at the Volkstheater Rostock in the 90s and already published three books before deciding on training as a podiatrist. This time also dates into her much -noticed book "Marzahn, Mon Amour", which consists of portraits of the people she met during her work. The book, which was published in 2022 and the stories of the residents of Marzahn, not only attracted great attention, but was also awarded the renowned Dublin Literary Award 2023. Over 180,000 copies were sold worldwide, and even a film was the result of these reports. The UFA discovered the moving stories and finished a row in 2020 in which Oskamp was initially advisable, but then retired.

Now the author is devoting herself to a new topic: In her current book "The Plossible Woman", she examines great love between 30 and 50 years. This shows that Oskamp also gives a deep insight into interpersonal relationships and realities in this work. She particularly appreciates the honesty and directness of people, especially in Marzahn. The stories are not only individual texts, but also develop into a comprehensive portrait of the community that focuses on everyday life and dignity of ordinary people, so that readers get an authentic view of their challenges.

readers have to paint the 21st June in the calendar, because then Oskamp will appear at a reading in the Wittenborn cinema church. This opportunity to listen to their creative energy and the life -affirming stories should never miss literature enthusiasts.
