Calla Henkel is a Berlin-based American writer and artist whose fiction draws on the city’s art scene. Other People’s Clothes, her debut, follows two American students in Berlin who discover their playwright landlady is turning their lives into her next production — a setup that becomes increasingly threatening as the line between performance and reality dissolves.

Her second novel, Scrap, was published in 2024. Henkel’s dual life as a visual artist and fiction writer gives her novels a distinctive perspective on creativity, performance, and the sometimes predatory dynamics of the art world.
