Medulla meets Anti Müller: A literary evening about the desire for children and self-determination
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, two literary voices will meet at the Literaturhaus Göttingen: Verena Güntner with her novel Medulla and Yade Yasemin Önder with Anti Müller. The reading followed by a discussion begins at 8:00 PM and addresses bodily self-determination, the desire for children, and societal gender roles.
Two novels, two perspectives on life concepts
In Verena Güntner's novel Medulla, published in 2025 by DuMont, three couples drift apart during a hot summer. At the center are pregnant women who rebel against rigid structures and assert their own visions of the future.
Yade Yasemin Önder's Anti Müller, published in 2026 by park x ullstein, tells the story of a woman with an unfulfilled desire for children. The psychological strain grows as men in the environment make decisions about the futures of their partners. Both books combine precise observation with an intense literary confrontation about body, power, and social expectations.
Reading and discussion with literary depth
The evening combines selected text passages with a moderated discussion. Cultural journalist Alexandra Friedrich leads the event and opens the space for a nuanced discussion about bodily self-determination and gender roles. The live atmosphere of the Literaturhaus creates intimacy: voices, pauses, and the focused audience mood make literature immediately tangible.
The event is aimed at everyone who wants to connect contemporary literature, socio-political topics, and strong female author perspectives. Instead of simple answers, the audience can expect a multifaceted exchange about decisions, desires, attributions, and the question of who owns their own life concept.
An evening for committed contemporary literature
The Literaturhaus Göttingen is located in the midst of the art quarter and connects the work of the Literary Center with the Göttingen Literature Autumn. As a venue for readings, discussions, and debates, it offers the perfect framework for this literary dialogue.
Doors open at 7:30 PM, with the start at 8:00 PM. Discounts are available for students, trainees, people eligible for a social card, and individuals with disabilities. Visitors with accompanying persons are requested to register with the Literary Center by phone in advance.
Conclusion
Medulla meets Anti Müller promises a concentrated, current, and emotional literature evening in Göttingen. Two novels come together that question societal norms and center personal life decisions. Those seeking contemporary literature with conviction and dialogue will experience here an evening that resonates long after.
