Uschi Cop Dodeman
An urgent and uncompromising debut about femicide and the moral limits of resistance. A hybrid evening of performance, literature, and social discourse. Uncoincidentally during International Women’s Day week.
Writer Uschi Cop presents her debut novel Dodeman during a hybrid evening of performance, literature, and social conversation.
Dodeman is a feminist novel of ideas about family ties, femicide, and the moral boundaries of resistance. An urgent and uncompromising debut that reads like a thriller, for readers of Olga Tokarczuk, Jeanette Winterson, and Margaret Atwood.
