Slata Roschal © Ksenia Laevskaia

Slata Roschal is not only awarded many times as an author and has suffered well in the feature, but also works as a critic, translator from Russian and as an editor. Her debut novel 153 Forms of Non-Being, in which identity, migration, outsiderism, femininity and the question of being are negotiated, was nominated for the German Book Award in 2022.

“Her special strength as a poet is to maintain an elegant balance between ruthless, laconic speech and poetic invention, or to re-establish them again and again by dancing.” (From the justification of the jury)

Slata Roschal, born in St. Petersburg in 1992, is a literary scholar and has already published several volumes of poetry and novels (“153 Forms of Non-being” and “I want to drink wine and wait for the end of the world”). The author lives in Munich. She is a city clerk of Graz in 2025/26.
