Frühschoppen Literary Brunch 2013 is made possible by the generous support of BMW of North America and Air Berlin and also supported by Radeberger. Ulrike Ulrich, born in 1968 in Düsseldorf, lives in Zurich. She studied German Literature and Language, and afterwards worked in Computational Linguistics. In 2010, Luftschacht Verlag published her first novel fern bleiben, which will be followed in spring of 2013 by her second novel Hinter den Augen. She is the editor of a literary Anthology on Human Rights and a member of the Zurich-based group of authors "index" (www.wortundwirkung.ch). Ulrich has received numerous awards and stipends, including the Walter Serner-Prize 2010, a Zurich Literature Prize 2010, and the Lilly-Ronchetti-Prize 2011 for Hinter den Augen. In 2012 she received grants from both Pro Helvetia and the canton of Zurich. Featured novel: fern bleiben Fern bleiben chronicles Lo's travels by train across Europe after her winnings from a TV quiz show allow her to quit her job working with computers. In her early thirties, Lo originally plans simply to travel to Rome, but ends up crisscrossing the continent, stopping only briefly in cities following chance encounters or spontaneous impulses. The book is divided into chapters, each of which takes its title from a train and its city of departure. The journey becomes one of self-discovery that causes her to re-evaluate her life, her relationships, and her own character. The freedom of travel acts as a catalyst, allowing her to end an unfulfilling affair, to consider new career options (writing columns about her travels for a magazine, opening a cafe), to fall in love with a man she meets in Vienna, and to fulfill a need to be useful to others. The book ends inconclusively; although she seems nearly ready to end her travels and return home to Dortmund or to begin a new life in Vienna, at the book's conclusion she has just bought another month-long rail pass and is en-route to Estonia.
