Literary Breakfast
Discover the life and work of the significant Austrian writer Jeannie Ebner – networker, mentor, and a strong voice in literature. With coffee and readings.
At the literature breakfast, literary scholar Wolfgang Straub dedicates himself to rediscovering the Austrian writer Jeannie Ebner (1918–2004). With her early novels "Sie warten auf Antwort" (1954) and "Die Wildnis früher Sommer" (1958), she was one of the defining voices of her time, alongside Ilse Aichinger and Ingeborg Bachmann. In 2026, her works "Figuren in Schwarz und Weiß" (first published in 1964) and the short story collection "Die neue Penelope" will be reissued—a perfect occasion to explore her multifaceted legacy.
Ebner was not only an author but also a mentor and networker for young writers such as Hertha Kräftner, Marlen Haushofer, and Thomas Bernhard. From 1969 to 1978, she edited the influential journal "Literatur und Kritik" and advocated for literary equality. Her confident advocacy for literature was always intertwined with struggles against patriarchal structures.
Wolfgang Straub will introduce the life and work of this unparalleled voice while coffee and croissants are served.
