Katerina Poladjan reads from her award-winning novel about family, utopias, and Europe's history. An evening of literature filled with depth and poetry.
Description
Katerina Poladjan presents her novel Goldstrand, which was awarded the Leipzig Book Fair Prize, in a reading followed by a discussion. At the heart of the story is Eli, whose life spans from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast of the 1950s—where the utopian holiday resort Goldstrand is being built—all the way to Rome. As an aging film director, he reflects on family history, historical ruptures, and the failure of ideals. The novel weaves together personal fates with European upheavals, from Odessa via Constantinople to the present day, and tells the story of a continent caught between hope and reality.
Poladjan, born in Moscow and raised in Rome and Vienna, now lives in Berlin. Her work, published by S. Fischer Verlag, is characterized by a multi-layered narrative structure that interweaves collective and individual perspectives.
