JENNY. Ausgabe 11 – es geht sich schon aus

Sophia Naomi Eisenring, Grace Oberholzer & Sara Schmiedl (eds.)

JENNY, the anthology of contemporary literature, is sporting a new look, entering its 11th year of publication in style.

Our grandmothers always assured it that “it all works out in the end,” even as memories fade with time. Things that are too shiny eventually lose their luster, powdered cheeks grow dusty, and even the most carefully applied rouge is liable to be blown away by a fresh summer breeze. What remains is residual heat, stale air, and texts – about conventions, suppression, and the past that melts through the heat to the surface of the present. But also: the attempt to breathe, to take up space, and kiss sunken cheeks awake.

Issue 11 of JENNY ponders in a somewhat morbid, unapologetically queer-feminist, and thoroughly Viennese manner the issue of graduations and new beginnings. Some things remain while others emerge.

  • Issue 11 of the literary anthology JENNY, published annually by students at the Institute for Language Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna
  • JENNY combines tradition with a new look and contains 15 fresh texts
  • Selected texts by innovative authors – poetry, essays, prose, and cross-genre language art
