Es gibt (noch) wenige Romane über den deutschen Kolonialismus, aber Mirrianne Mahns Issa ist einer davon. In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit der Künstlerin und Aktivistin Mirrianne Mahn über ihr literarisches Debüt, ihre Liebe für die deutsche Sprache, ihre Archiv-Recherche und die politischen Dimensionen des Schreibens.
Zum Schluss empfehlen wir noch unsere Lieblingsbücher aus 2024.
