About

Amid Sudan´s deadly war, women face a triple threat of death, displacement, and gender-based assault. And yet they write, says Stella Gaitano. The Khartoum-born author talks about violence, misery and literature as a form of resistance. Stella Gaitano`s story collection „Endless Days at Point Zero“ was named the bestbook for summer 2024 by Litprom and is nominated für „LiBeraturpreis 2025“. The German Translation "Endlose Tage am Point Zero" was published in  2024. In this session, we will hear about Stella`s experiences and her writing in a conversation with the well known journalist Cornelia Wegerhoff.
