Uncanny, haunting, and intimate, Schweblin’s short stories read like modern fairy tales. »In Samanta Schweblin’s hands a single story becomes a theory of just about everything.« [Colum McCann] In »Good and Evil and Other Stories« [trans. Megan McDowell] she weaves together tales of family, grief, and regret with phantasmagoric imagery – revealing just how fragile and unsettling everyday life can be. In conversation with Juan S. Guse, she discusses neo-fantastical writing and horror.

Gender equality would improve social, financial, and environmental conditions for everyone in the world. Thats the thesis of Linda Scott, professor emerita of entrepreneurship and innovation at Oxford University, whose book examines the role of women in the global economy. »A comprehensive scholarly analysis ― and at the same time a forceful political plea.« [FAZ] Actress Hildegard Schmahl reads several passages from the German translation, while Scott participates in the conversation via live stream.
