It has been wonderful having Maxi Obexer as our Max Kade writer in residence this semester at UW–Madison. So far, Maxi has hosted four events this semester for the UW–Madison community. These have included a dramatic reading of her play The Daughters of Oresteia, a group listening to her radio play Im Auge des Sturms, and conversations with Maxi and translators of her works about her pieces of drama and literature.

There will be one more chance to interact with Maxi during her Fall 2026 residence at UW–Madison. Our final event with Maxi will be Wednesday, November 4th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm in 206 Ingraham Hall – a conversation with Maxi and UW–Madison instructor Oksana Stoychuk about Migration and Belonging in Contemporary German Literature. Come join the last chance to have a conversation with Maxi!
