Lukas Bärfuss, a Bernese playwright, novelist and essayist, is one of the major voices of contemporary German-language literature. He presents his new novel Les Miettes, translated by Camille Lüscher (éditions Zoé). The talk examines Bärfuss’s ongoing exploration of poverty, tracing autobiographical threads from his earlier work Le Carton de mon père and situating the narrative within broader European twentieth-century history. The session offers close readings and discussion of themes, form and memory.
