Grimm Poetry Professor 2019: Felicitas Hoppe
In 2019, the Kassel Brothers Grimm Poetry Professorship was awarded to the author Felicitas Hoppe. The University of Kassel is thus honoring the work of an author who has enjoyed success with novels and short stories as well as children's books.
Born in Hamelin, Felicitas Hoppe (*1960) has been awarded numerous prizes and honors, including the Georg Büchner Prize in 2012. Her best-known short stories include the collection Picknick der Friseure (1996), the novel Johanna (2006), the fictional (auto/r)biography Hoppe (2012) and the children's book Iwein Löwenritter (2008). She wrote about a trip around the world on a container ship in the novel Pigafetta (1999). Last year, she published Prawda. An American Journey (2018), her fifth novel.
Felicitas Hoppe has - in addition to numerous prizes, scholarships and honors - already held several poetry lectureships in Germany and abroad. She travels internationally and her books have also been translated into several languages, with the constellation of travel and writing repeatedly appearing in her literary works. In addition - and this is particularly interesting in the context of the Grimm Poetics Professorship, which is prospectively open to different media narrative styles - Hoppe's play with fictionality and factuality, with (post-)modern writing styles and self-reflexive procedures, with authenticity and masking, her authorial personality and various roles in film can be found FELICITAS HOPPE SAYS (D 2018; dir.: Oliver Held and Thomas Henke). Film excerpts from this author's film were shown as part of the event series.
