I.V. Nuss in Munich: Reading from R-O-N=O at Gasteig HP8

I.V. Nuss reads R-O-N=O at Gasteig HP8

On November 9, 2026, the Queer Literature Festival Munich introduces the radical, multifaceted text world of I.V. Nuss. In Hall X of Gasteig HP8, the author will read from R-O-N=O. A Dissociation – a work that intertwines novel, diary, transition report, essay, and cultural history of the furries.

A literary form between novel and essay

R-O-N=O eludes clear genre boundaries. The fragmentary text consistently addresses a you and moves between lightness and disturbance, laughter and existential heaviness. The reading thus promises a literary experience where the art of language, identity, and social discourse collide directly.

Intoxication, body, and presence

The unusual title refers to the chemical structural formula of alkyl nitrites, which also includes poppers. In I.V. Nuss's poetic conception, this becomes an image for the intoxicating nature of reading: language alters perception, shifts certainties, and opens spaces beyond normalized narrative forms.

I.V. Nuss in the German-speaking literary scene

Ivy Valerie Nuss published her debut novel Reality Comes in 2022. For her literary work, she has received scholarships from the Berlin Senate, the German Literature Fund, and the Edenkoben Artist House, among others. She has also been shortlisted for the Rauris Literature Prize, the German Pop Literature Prize, and the Wortmeldungen Literature Prize. Her texts connect contemporary literature, cultural analysis, and a distinctive, linguistically precise form.

Content Advisory

The event touches on themes such as transphobia, suicide, gore, drugs, and death. These content advisories allow for conscious preparation for the reading and emphasize the uncompromising literary engagement of the book with vulnerability, body, and societal norms.

Moderated reading at the Queer Literature Festival

Elisabeth R. Hager will moderate the evening. The event takes place as part of the Queer Literature Festival Munich, which makes current queer contemporary literature visible through readings, discussions, and other literary formats.

Conclusion: An author encounter beyond familiar narrative forms

The reading by I.V. Nuss promises an intense reading atmosphere where voice, text, and cultural discourse intertwine. Those who experience contemporary literature as an open, risky, and linguistically inventive art form will discover in R-O-N=O an evening full of friction, insight, and literary energy.
