Lili Grün

Lili Grün (1904 – 1942) was an Austrian writer and actress. Her debut novel ''Herz über Bord'' (2013) was enthusiastically received by critics. In it, she processes her experiences in the Berlin cabaret ''Die Brücke''. Grün wrote two other novels, which are also contemporary novels of the New Objectivity. She also published poems and short stories in newspapers and magazines. Her autobiographically influenced texts deal with the loneliness of the female main characters, love and the tense relationship between the sexes, and the difficulties that young emancipated women have in finding a place in society. Grün's literary work came to an abrupt end as a result of the disenfranchisement and persecution of Jews during the Nazi Germany. In 2007, German studies scholar Anke Heimberg came across the novel ''Herz über Bord'' and began researching the writer's life and work, whose texts she published in the following years by AvivA Verlag in Berlin.
