The ACFNY and Deutsches Haus at NYU present a reading by the authors from their fiction Kochen im falschen Jahrhundert and Ghost Pains, followed by a moderated conversation with the translator and author Tess Lewis. Präauer and Stevens are keen observers of social niceties and not-so-niceties. By delving into the said and the unsaid, the complexities of taste and mores, they paint vivid, psychologically precise portraits of relationships and dinner parties teetering on the brink of disaster. De gustibus, we’re told, non est disputandem, but their witty, kaleidoscopic writing shows that taste is a very contentious topic, indeed.
