At the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche Traunstein, contemporary literature meets a place of quiet radiance: Anja Gmeinwieser reads from her debut novel We Queens, a novel about two unequal women, a truck full of cows, and a journey across Europe.

Between reading, travel, and literary force

What emerges on stage is more than just a simple reading: It is an author encounter with narrative tension, a political undertone, and subtle humor. Gmeinwieser's novel delves into the dusty world of international animal transports, into the heat of the South, and the in-between spaces of self-discovery, class differences, and female solidarity. The jury in Fulda praised the connection of road novel and tender love story as well as the precise language.
