Description
He wanted to write a symphony, not the score for a string quartet, Otto F. Walter said about his novel Zeit des Fasans, published in 1988. The work offers a polyphonic journey through the dark episodes of Swiss history in the 20th century, closely linked to the fate of the narrator, descendant of a patriarchal entrepreneurial family. Of astonishing relevance. Reading: Roger Bonjour
Moderation: Hansjörg Stalder Literature is indispensable, but also transient. Authors are often forgotten soon after their death — along with their work. Rediscover, our reading series, aims to remember authors from German-speaking Switzerland who are no longer as prominent as they deserve to be. The recent literary history is rich in wonderful treasures — we want to uncover these over ten evenings. Among them Laure Wyss, Adelheid Duvanel, Kurt Marti, Ludwig Hohl, among others. The author and work will be introduced in a short presentation, followed by readings from well-known actors — such as Charles Brauer, Meret Bodamer, Dominique Lüdi, or Hanspeter Müller-Drossaart — from the works. And then we invite you to a conversation: An encouragement to literary happiness. In cooperation with Bloomell Coffeehouse, the culture and meeting bar opens an hour before the event with various drinks and snacks.
