Between Salzach fog and string sound: Regina Denk brings 'The Ferryman' to Traunstein

A voice that concentrates the space, a text that breathes history: When Regina Denk reads from her new novel 'The Ferryman' at the Cultural Forum Klosterkirche, a literary experience emerges that unites intimacy, timbre, and narrative magic. The author encounter leads to the German-Austrian border around 1914, where love, guilt, and community are put to the test.

The reading atmosphere: History in the hall of the Klosterkirche

The carefully modernized Klosterkirche with its clear lines provides the ideal stage for linguistic art. Here, voice, tempo, and pauses come into play. The audience experiences how Denk opens characters, condenses gazes, and allows sounds of the Salzach to imagine. The intimate atmosphere enhances every nuance of the narrative.

Work in focus: Narrative power, genre, and literary quality

'The Ferryman' intertwines historical storytelling with psychological accuracy. In the tradition of the homeland and social novel, Denk employs dense imagery, rhythmic syntax, and a narrative perspective that allows closeness while maintaining distance. Motifs of friendship, envy, duty, and freedom unfold as viable narratives.

Context to the author: Versatile voice of contemporary literature

Regina Denk, born at the Bavarian-Austrian border, published humorous Bavarian crime novels under a pseudonym and established herself with 'The Black Walker' as a significant narrator of historical narratives. Her works combine research, stylistic precision, and cultural-historical categorization.

The literary experience on-site

Lecture, reading, discussion: The presentation at the Cultural Forum emphasizes the narrative stance and the timbre of the language. The historical material becomes sensual: wood, stone, breath, voice. Those who want to not only read literature but hear it experience text as presence.

Conclusion: A concentrated reading, insights into the creation and research, and an evening that productively intertwines history, language, and the present are expected. Anyone who appreciates literary quality should experience this reading live.
