Mithu Sanyal

In “No: Against the Militarization of Violence,” Mithu Sanyal poses uncomfortable questions with intelligent incisiveness and tender bewilderment, without downplaying global aggression.

At the book launch at HAU Hebbel am Ufer, the author will speak with Margarita Tsomou (HAU curator for theory and discourse) about, among other things, the fact that a world without violence is not a distant ideal—but rather the most urgent task.

Mithu Sanyal was born in Düsseldorf in 1971; she is a writer, cultural scholar, journalist, and critic. Her non-fiction book *Vulva: The Invisible Sex* was published in 2009, followed by *Rape: Aspects of a Crime” was published in 2016; her first novel, “Identitti,” was published in 2021, was shortlisted for the German Book Prize, and won the Ruhr Literature Prize and the Ernst Bloch Prize; her second novel, “Antichristie,” was published in 2024. In 2026, she received the Heinrich Mann Prize for Essays.
