Reading with Angela Steidele "Into the Dark"

Tuesday, December 9 at 7:30 pm at the Literaturhaus

Moderator: Alexander Wasner (SWR)

In the cinema, light paints a different world on the screen, tells stories and illuminates secrets. This is also the case in this novel about Marlene Dietrich, Greta Garbo and Erika Mann, who meet in a Swiss mountain village in the 1960s and reminisce about times gone by. The lives of the female characters are pieced together in flashbacks, cuts and montages, fact and fiction intermingle and ultimately the question of a happy ending remains.

Reading with Peter Stamm "On very thin ice"

Thursday, December 11 at 7:30 pm at the Literaturhaus

Moderator: Christoph Schröder (SZ and Die ZEIT)

Peter Stamm takes readers from Lake Constance to Bottrop with his new collection of stories. On one occasion, a Swiss ski instructor ends up in a West German ski hall after an accident; on another, an actress blurs the boundaries between herself and her characters. In Peter Stamm's usual subtle style, it is above all the quiet tones that resonate loudest in his fine stories.

GLYG will be offering tea, mulled wine and waffles on this evening.
