Dana Vowinckel Presents The World in a Ziplock Bag

Dana Vowinckel introduces her novel The World in a Ziplock Bag, a story about an unconventional family split between Berlin, Chicago and Tel Aviv, providing a moving portrait of contemporary Jewish life. As Daniela Dröscher put it: »Reading Dana Vowinckel means: to suffer, to laugh, to learn, all at the same time. May she please keep on telling stories. I would like to read a hundred more of her books.«

Dana Vowinckel was born in Berlin in 1996 into an American-Jewish-German family. She grew up bilingually and bi-culturally between Chicago and Berlin, and studied linguistics and literature in Berlin, Toulouse and Cambridge. At the 2021 Ingeborg Bachmann Competition, she was awarded a prize for an excerpt from The World in a Ziplock Bag, her debut novel. Today, Dana Vowinckel lives in Berlin.
