Deutscher Abend an der Uni - Angelika Arend, A reading from her novel Qualverwandt

Deutscher Abend an der Uni

Tuesday, January 31, 2012 (7:30pm)

Harry Hickman Building, 110 Angelika Arend, A reading from her novel Qualverwandt

A well-known active member of the Victoria German community, conductor of various choirs, Germanic Studies professor emerita, recipient of the Walter Bauer Prize, scholar and published poet, Dr. Angelika Arend will read from her most recent venture into the world of narrative fiction, her collection of short prose Qualverwandt. You can choose your friends, but not your family. Is that why they are so often at each other’s throats? Indeed as much about the grand themes of existence, life and death, as about the small, petty things?
