Marjana Gaponenko spent her childhood and youth in Odessa. After leaving school, she studied German at the University of Odessa and started to write poems and publish. In Germany she was initially promoted by Erik Martin in Muschelhaufen, and she became known to a wider circle of readers. In 2000, she made her debut with the poetry collection How tearless knights. In 2001 she was one of the candidates for the title " Author of the Year" magazine Deutsche Sprachwelt. in 2010 published the first novel, Annushka flower, the Residenz Verlag.

In her novel Who is Martha ? (2012), two old men spend their last days in a posh Vienna Hotel and wait for death. "As amazing as the young [author ] ", Volker Hage wrote in Der Spiegel, "also her novel Jubilee of the creation and its wonders is full of joie de vivre, also when it comes to last things".[2] The Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung considers that the author with the work that was awarded the Adelbert von Chamisso Prize, " created with Luka Lewadski a quirky and idiosyncratic character like from a story by Isaac Babel [has] a childish old man, whose last gasp finds against death expression in a language that balances the oscillation of waking and dream, of melancholic nostalgia and hunger for life."[3]
