An Evening with Hayat Erdoğan between Literature, Attitude, and Present
On June 15, 2026, literary debate meets personal narrative power in Bochum: Hayat Erdoğan reads in the Oval Office at the Schauspielhaus Bochum from her debut novel Mainly No Zeitgeist and discusses writing, social issues, and the energy with which contemporary literature resonates with audiences today.
Literature that Thinks from the Moment
The event is designed as a reading and discussion and is part of the series Performative - Politics - Feminism of the Ruhr University Bochum.
