The focus is on "Minihorror" by Barbi Marković - a tragicomic, award-winning collection of short stories about the adventures of Mini and Miki. The work was awarded the 2024 Leipzig Book Fair Prize and offers numerous exciting approaches for a stimulating discussion.
Winner of the Leipzig Book Fair Prize 2024, the book tells the tragicomic and abysmal stories of the couple Mini and Miki. The two, who are not from here, try to fit in and cope with their everyday lives. But dangers, monsters and disasters seem to follow them at every turn.
With irony and a keen sense of the absurd, Barbi Marković turns so-called reality into the surreal. The jury at the Leipzig Book Fair praised the author for her ability to look behind the facades and reveal the fragility of her characters. Surprising twists and fantastic elements characterize the stories, which provide an opportunity for intensive literary discussion.
