Limericker Literaturgespräche Reading of Blasse Tage (2022)

Zarah Weiss, born in 1992 in Düsseldorf and raised in the countryside of the Lower Rhine, presented a reading at the University of Limerick, supported by the OeAD, on 28 March. Known for her short story collection Blasse Tage (2022), Weiss has received numerous literary awards and scholarships, reflecting her significant contributions to contemporary German literature. She started the reading with the story "Weißer Rauch” followed by a second short story called ”Private Investigations”. After each story, there was time for questions and discussions with the students. The students were prepared for the reading in advance by taking part in a creative writing workshop with Zarah Weiss and OeAD Lektor Johannes Vith. Our sincere thanks go to all who contributed to this memorable event.
