Susanne Kaiser unveils Riot Girl at Wiesbaden's Crime March festival
The Wiesbaden Crime March festival is underway, showcasing top crime writers until March 31. Among them is Susanne Kaiser, a journalist and author known for her sharp analysis of gender power struggles. She will present her debut novel, Riot Girl, at Villa Clementine Literature House on March 26 at 7:30 PM.
Kaiser's novel introduces LKA detective Obalski, who tackles a case involving radical activists fighting misogyny. The story reflects themes from Kaiser's nonfiction work, Backlash: The New Violence Against Women, where she examines power dynamics between men and women.
At the event, Kaiser will discuss *Riot Girl* with critic Ariane Binder from 3sat. The festival itself offers a mix of formats, though details on other participating authors or additional events remain limited. Kaiser's background in investigative journalism adds weight to her fictional debut. Her focus on systemic violence and resistance aligns with the novel's plot, making the discussion a highlight of the festival.
The event at Villa Clementine marks Kaiser's first public appearance for Riot Girl. Attendees can expect a conversation on activism, crime fiction, and gender politics. The festival continues through the week, with more crime writers set to take the stage.
