In 2021 she won the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize. Her latest novel, "Das Paradies Meines Nachbarn" (btb HC, 2023), is about a child soldier who makes a career as a product designer in Munich after fleeing the Gulf War. He believes he has left his past behind him - until it finally catches up with him and his world is shaken.
