Das Traumschiff

Isobel Markus studied library science and English and lives as a freelance author in Berlin. She writes novels, short stories and literary miniatures for the column ‘Berliner Szenen’ in the taz newspaper. Her short stories have appeared in literary magazines and anthologies, have been published as a two-part book series entitled ‘Stadt der ausgefallenen Leuchtbuchstaben’ (City of Unusual Illuminated Letters) and parts of them have been translated into Arabic (translator: Swar Malla). At Lettrétage Berlin, she initiated and curated the interdisciplinary event series Berliner Salonage, which was funded by the Senate Department for Culture and Europe in 2022 and 2023.


Rick Palm writes poetry and prose for the stage and other media, including the taz, on an irregular basis, and is active in the independent Berlin literary scene, formerly in association with Gleiswildnis, where he co-organised the Konzept*Feuerpudel, among other things. Together with Maik Gerecke, he runs the podcast transphilosophisch.
