Discussion | Festival Neue Literatur


The annual event brings some of the best up and coming German-speaking authors to New York, where they will interact with well-known American writers in a series of conversations and readings. Readings will be held predominantly in English; at times, both German and English will be used. This year's edition of the festival focuses on the notion of mobility in today's increasingly globalized world. Whether depicting the struggle of establishing an identity in a new society, or the longing to leave behind small town surroundings, these nine authors will present unique and refreshing takes on ideas of mobility and the human experience. This session: "Small Town," featuring Martin Becker, Lorenz Langenegger and Johny Wray in conversation. Moderated by Daniela Strigl and Klaus Nuechtern.

We meet on the first Sunday of each month. This month's book is about gender and the politics of popular culture.
