Stefanie Sargnagel: satirical insights into an American village

<p> <strong> Stefanie Sargnagel: satirical insights into an American village </strong> </p>

in Vöcklabruck will take place on Wednesday, October 16, at 7 p.m., a special event in the OKH: The well -known author and cartoonist Stefanie Sargnagel will read from her latest work "Iowa". This reading promises to become an exciting experience because it takes a close look at the satirical nuances of life in a small American town.

Sargnagel describes iowa as a kind of reflection of the Lugner City in Vienna - a place that is strongly shaped by clichés. Her stay there is no coincidence because she was hired on an elite college to teach creative writing. Together with the musician Christiane Rösinger, she collected a number of fascinating impressions that were finally recorded in the form of a book. Sargnagel mainly addresses bizarre observations on topics such as the "woken" culture at their university, sect-like groups, as well as the celebration and dining culture of the Americans. She reports about her experiences with a mixture of humor and feminist reflection.

The book and its topics

In the center of Sargnagel's book, their academic ambitions are less, but rather the entertaining and sometimes profound knowledge that she gained during her stay. In their stories, the reader not only encounters funny anecdotes, but also a critical eye on social phenomena that stimulate both laughter and thinking. It is not surprising that "Iowa" has already been adapted as a stage play and is nominated for the German Book Prize.

The event is organized by the 4840 cultural accents. Tickets for this remarkable reading are available via Kupficket.com.
