A razor-sharp, award-winning debut that captures the awkwardness of growing up Jewish in Germany, centered around a plucky and angsty fifteen-year-old and her dysfunctional family's summer between Berlin, Chicago and Jerusalem.
Dana Vowinckel was born in Berlin in 1996 into an American-Jewish-German family. She grew up bilingually and bi-culturally between Chicago and Berlin, and studied linguistics and literature in Berlin, Toulouse, and Cambridge. At the 2021 Ingeborg Bachmann Competition, she was awarded a prize for an excerpt from her first novel, Misophonia. She lives in Berlin.
