Anna Kim in Conversation: A Novel about Memory, Origins, and the Power of Language
In the classroom of the CBW Landshut, a literary morning is coming up that does not need to be loud to resonate. At Books in Conversation: The Story of a Child, on September 17, 2026, at 09:00, Anna Kim's novel will be discussed among readers; the session will be led by Roswitha Metz. The format is aimed at people who have already read the book and want to jointly interrogate literature rather than just consume it.

A Novel of Literary Sharpness
Anna Kim is one of the prominent voices in contemporary literature. Born in 1977 in South Korea, she now lives in Vienna; for her narrative and essayistic work, she has received, among others, the European Union Literature Prize, the Veza-Canetti Prize 2023, and the Longlist nomination for the German Book Prize 2022 with The Story of a Child.

The novel itself unfolds a language of great precision and quiet tension. On her official website, Anna Kim presents an excerpt from the text that condenses the experience of foreignness, winter, movement, and memory with exceptional imagery. This is exactly the literary quality of this evening of conversation: less in mere retelling than in jointly probing the language.

Reading Atmosphere without Spotlight
The CBW offers an intimate setting for such literary discussions. The classroom is located at Neustadt 534 in 84028 Landshut; the city of Landshut designates the location as a classroom of the Christian Educational Institute. The series is aimed at readers who wish to discuss, question, and exchange ideas in a quiet environment. ([landshut.de](https://landshut.de/node/470))
The atmosphere promises no spectacle, but concentration: a literary experience that thrives on conversation culture, proximity to the text, and a respectful author encounter. Those who engage with Anna Kim's work experience contemporary literature as a precise observation of identity, history, and memory. ([suhrkamp.de](https://www.suhrkamp.de/person/anna-kim-p-8771))
