Stefanie Sargnagel & Christiane Rösinger - Iowa

Prinz-Eugen-Straße/ Ecke Plößlgasse

1030 Wien

 

In 2022, Stefanie Sargnagel traveled to Iowa to teach a creative writing course at a small college in the middle of the American heartland, accompanied by singer Christiane Rösinger. The resulting book landed at number one in the Austrian bestseller charts. That evening, they read scenes from their shared experiences in the Midwest and reflect on their existence as feminist icons of different generations. They don't spare each other, like to contradict each other, and always find each other in songs they sing together. The result is a cabaret-style reading show with melancholic chansons about life on the prairie.

Quirky and grandiose. ― Der Spiegel
A report of experiences and at the same time a witty political and artistic interim assessment. ― 3Sat "Kulturzeit"
It is also, and perhaps above all, the manifesto of a friendship for which there are hardly any cultural-historical role models. ..It warms your heart when you read it. -- Adam Soboczynski
"Iowa" is one of the funniest, smartest and best things the book market has produced in recent weeks. -- Marie-Luise Goldmann ― Welt am Sonntag
