A literary late summer evening with Jochen Mariss in Bielefeld-Brackwede
As the days noticeably shorten, this reading offers a warm counterpoint: Jochen Mariss will read from his debut novel Days by the River, bringing that fine mixture of summer light, inner tension, and quiet emotionality to the stage that characterizes good contemporary literature.
A novel that remains of summer
Days by the River is a literary experience about vulnerability, closeness, and the slow breaking down of carefully built walls. The novel leads to a remote place by the water, where an encounter sets the lives of two characters in motion. It is precisely in the reading that this story unfolds its special linguistic artistry: concise, vividly strong, and with a calm intensity that resonates long after.
Jochen Mariss: from poet to novelist
Jochen Mariss is a well-known figure in the Bielefeld literary scene. The author was born in Cologne, studied graphic design with a focus on photography in Bielefeld, and was a co-founder of the Graphic Workshop Bielefeld. There, he published lyrical texts for many years before transitioning to short stories, children’s books, and now novels. With Days by the River, he marks an important step in his work: the shift from concise poetic form to epic narration, without losing the precision of his language.
