Ingeborg Arlt
Ingeborg Arlt (born May 13, 1949 in Berlin ) is a German writer .
Life
Arlt grew up in Pritzwalk from 1950 to 1965 . Arlt's childhood and later family life were shaped by his father's flight from the GDR in 1953 and the early disability of the mother she cared for until 1986 due to numerous illnesses. From 1965, when she finished school, she took up a job as an unskilled assistant in the Rathenow city and district library . In 1967 she qualified in a one-year crash course to become a library technician, to which she added a distance learning course from 1968 to 1972 at the technical school for librarians in Leipzig and completed it as a librarian. From 1970 to 1978 she was the head of a branch of the Brandenburg City Library on the Havel and then continued to work as a librarian.
From 1975 Arlt began to publish poems and from 1995 also short stories and essays in numerous literary magazines and anthologies. Among other things, she wrote texts on the artist's books by the Guben artist Sigrid Noack , which only appeared in small but elaborately designed editions and were also included in museum collections.
In 1986 she received the Anna Seghers Prize for her story Das kleine Leben and the CS Lewis Prize in 2007 for her novel The Whore and the Executioner . Her texts are said to have a high level of linguistic sensitivity, and in a review by the Märkische Allgemeine her book The Whore and the Executioner was even seen above all as a "work of language art". She has been a member of the PEN Center Germany since 2013 .
Ingeborg Arlt has lived in Brandenburg an der Havel since 1970 .
