Literary Conversation in Landshut: A House, a Mosque, Many Voices
An intense morning for discerning readers: Led by Roswitha Metz, the discussion group will discuss the novel The House by the Mosque by Kader Abdolah – a work that connects political contemporary history with poetic linguistic art and promises a distinctive literary experience.
Why this Novel Moves
Abdolah's narrative art weaves family chronicle, cultural memory, and the upheavals of Iranian history into a compelling narrative. The calm voice of the text encounters dramatic events – a contrast that deepens the atmosphere of the reading and makes the literary quality visible.
Style, Genre, Discourse
The novel operates between realistic prose and mythic motifs; Abdolah’s style balances empathy, irony, and clear images. At the center is the question of tradition, modernity, and belonging – themes that are highly current in Europe's cultural discourse and gain profile in the common conversation.
Author Encounter in Mind: An Overview of Kader Abdolah's Work
The Iranian-Dutch author is one of the defining voices of exile literature. Awards such as the E. du Perron Prize and bestseller successes in the Netherlands underline his authority. His work shows how linguistic artistry builds bridges between biography and world history.
Practical Information for Literary Exchange
Please read the book in advance – this creates dense, respectful debates with room for text analysis, citations, and open questions. On-site there is a concentrated, intimate atmosphere; the classroom of the Christian Educational Center provides an appropriate setting for an engaged discussion.
Conclusion
Expect two focused hours of literature in the best sense: precise reading, smart questions, new perspectives. Join the conversation – and experience how literature connects thinking, remembering, and the present.
