Gaea Schoeters: "Trophäe"
The VorLaut reading series of the Literatuhaus Basel gives up-and-coming authors a stage: similar to the opening act in music, they perform their lyrics in front of established authors.
The mark of Gaea Schoetersʼs award-winning novel is its extraordinary narrative power. Schoeters uses elements from the genre of “colonial hunting literature” to expose the white colonial view of the African continent. Grippingly told, evoking wild nature in a way reminiscent of nature writing, the novel describes the clash between indigenous people and the visiting trophy hunters, whose moral values are shaken to the core.
