Reading with Daniela Dröscher: Insight into Young Woman with Cat”

On November 13, 2025, the renowned author Daniela Dröscher will give a reading from her latest work “Young Woman with a Cat”. The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. in the Erdmannhausen local library. Entry is 12 euros and includes a drink. Those interested can reserve tickets in advance, either by phone at 07144/308-400 or by email at ortsbuecherei@erdmannhausen.de.

Dröscher, who was born in Munich in 1977 and grew up in Rhineland-Palatinate, has made a name for herself in the literary scene. She studied German, philosophy and English in Trier and London and received her doctorate in media studies at the University of Potsdam. Her best-known work, the autofictional novel “Lies About My Mother,” was shortlisted for the German Book Prize in 2022 and will soon be filmed by Tobis Filmproduktion, directed by Aron Lehmann.

Insight into “Young Woman with Cat”

In “Young Woman with Cat” Dröscher tells the story of Ela, a protagonist who stands in the shadow of her mother. It addresses the physical and psychological challenges Ela faces, including a breakdown shortly before completing her doctorate. The novel deals intensively with identity and self-discovery and promises to captivate readers emotionally.

The reading is a continuation of Dröscher's commitment to literature and her contact with her audience. She will already be delighting listeners in the local library in 2023, which makes her return particularly appealing.

Daniela Dröscher: A versatile writer

Dröscher has published numerous works in her career and is a member of the PEN Center Germany and PEN Berlin. Her other writings include the double biography “The Lights of George Psalmanazar” (2009) and the children’s book “Show Your Class: The Story of My Social Origins” (2018). With a portfolio that includes both novels and plays for the theater, she is a versatile voice in contemporary literature.

Literary work is recognized not only at local readings, such as in Erdmannhausen, but also at major events such as the Frankfurt Book Fair, where numerous highlights of the German-speaking literary scene are presented. This offers an excellent platform for authors to get in touch with their audience, as epubli.com highlights.

With her reading in November, Daniela Dröscher is setting another mark in her career and invites everyone interested to engage with her latest work.
