Guest of the ilb 2005
Ulrike Draesner was born in Munich in 1963. She
studied Law, English, and Philosophy, and taught at the German
Philology Institute in Munich. She has published widely in newspapers
and magazines and has also worked for radio. Draesner’s first volume of
verse, »gedächtnisschleifen« (1995; t: memoryloops), already
demonstrates her characteristic linguistic precision, which consciously
disorients the reader. Montage and collage are the techniques of choice
in her prose work. Her most recent book is the novel »Spiele« (2004; t:
Games). The author has received numerous grants and awards. She lives
and writes in Berlin.
