Slata Roschal (born 1992 in Saint Petersburg, Russia), also known as Slata Kozakova, is a German writer and literary scholar. [1] [2]
In 1997, Roschal moved with her parents to Schwerin in Germany where she was raised bilingual. After graduating from secondary school, she studied Slavic studies, German studies and comparative literature studies at the University of Greifswald. She graduated with a doctor's degree at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in 2021. [3] [4]
In 2017, Roschal published a poetry and prose anthology on contemporary literature from the Baltic Sea region in collaboration with Matthias Friedrich. [5] She has published poetry, prose and translations from Russian in numerous anthologies and literary magazines. [6] [7] In 2018, she was awarded the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Literature Prize. [8] In 2019, she published her debut poetry collection, Wir verzichten auf das gelobte Land (We renounce the promised land) followed by the poetry and prose miniature collection Wir tauschen Ansichten und Ängste wie weiche warme Tiere aus (We exchange views and fears like soft, warm animals) in 2021 which gained much attention. [9] [10] [11]
In February 2022, Roschal published her debut novel 153 Formen des Nichtseins (153 forms of not-being). Originally published by the Erlangen based independent press Homunculus Verlag, [12] the novel was received well by critics and turned out to be a success. [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] In 2022, it was nominated the SWR-Bestenliste [18] and for the German Book Prize and won numerous awards. In 2024, the novel was published as a paperback with the German Penguin Verlag.
In February 2024, Roschal published her second novel Ich möchte Wein trinken und auf das Ende der Welt warten (I want to drink wine and wait for the end of the world) which again has been very well received by critics. [19] [20] [21]
Roschal's poetry collection Wir tauschen Ansichten und Ängste wie weiche warme Tiere aus (We exchange views and fears like soft, warm animals) has received a recommendation by Marie Luise Knott in the context of the poetry recommendations of the Deutsche Akademie für Sprache und Dichtung, the foundation Lyrik Kabinett Munich and the Haus für Poesie (House for Poetry) Berlin in 2022. [22] Also, it was amongst the 10 best Bavarian independent bokks in 2022. [23]
Max Fluder calls Roschal's language "dangerously good (gefährlich gute Sprache") [24] and Lena Gorelik states that Roschal's debut novel "impressed her tremendously (hat mich unheimlich beeindruckt"). [25]
For Antje Weber, 153 Formen des Nichtseins (153 forms of not-being) is "the impressive testimony of an ideational realisation, an ardous self-empowerment (... das beeindruckende Zeugnis einer Bewusstwerdung, einer mühsamen Selbstermächtigung ..."), a book that "delivers insight into the reflections and conflicting emotions that are part of such a process. (... gibt Einblick in die Reflexionen und widersprüchlichen Gefühle, die zu einem solchen Prozess dazugehören.") [26]
In her review of Ich möchte Wein trinken und auf das Ende der Welt warten (I want to drink wine and wait for the end of the world), Miriam Zeh comes to the conclusion that "you want to read Slata Roschal, reread her – and wait for the end of the world. (Slata Roschal möchte man lesen, wiederlesen – und auf das Ende der Welt warten."). [27]
Michael Schleicher of the Münchner Merkur considers this very novel of Roschal to be "a highlight of the still young spring book season (Höhepunkt des noch jungen Bücher-Frühjahrs)" summing up that her "book is an extraordinary achievement with a subtle tone (... Buch ist ein großer Wurf mit leisen Tönen)."
