The madness of a woman

The Centro de Língua Portuguesa was delighted to welcome Yara Monteiro last Friday, October 18, 2024, at the 4th WELTWORTREISENDE Festival at the Forum Stadtpark in Graz.

She read from her work "Essa Dama bate bué (The Gravity of Tears)" and spoke about her literary perspective on the role of women in the Angolan War of Independence under the evening motto "Der Wahnsinn einer Frau". Tsitsi Dangarembga and Astrid H. Roemer shared the round table with Yara Monteiro that evening.

Yara Nakahanda Monteiro attracted a lot of attention from the audience and will soon be presenting and discussing her recently published book of poetry "Herz, Rhytmus.Störungen".
