On this evening, the view expands from the backyard of Wiehre to the Black Forest: In Eva Strasser's debut novel "Wildhof" (Wagenbach, 2025), it buzzes, glows, and scents so vividly that while reading, one feels as if they are in the forest.

Lina travels light. She does not plan to stay. What awaits her in her hometown weighs heavily. Years ago, her twin sister Luise disappeared without a trace, and now her parents have died in an accident. She is forced to return, to clean up, to investigate, to bury, and to find closure.

In her search for a buyer for the family home, she rediscovers what seemed forever lost. In a present where she is held by the sun-drenched forest and by old friendships, she scrapes the mossy past free with both hands – and thus her own future. The author, who grew up in the Black Forest, engages in conversation with Leo Boquoi from the Literaturhaus team.
