Sebald, Herta Müller, Christoph Ransmayer, and Marion Poschmann – have been speaking about their writing every autumn for three evenings at the invitation of the German Seminar and the Literaturhaus Zürich. For the anniversary, none other than Blixa Bargeld, head of the «Einstürzenden Neubauten», will take over the poetic lectureship. In the coming November, the Berlin-based lyricist and language performer will give insights into his text production – and, not least, highlight the relationship between noise, voice, and poetry. In collaboration with the German Seminar of the University of Zurich and with the kind support of the Society for German Language and Literature.
