Literature in the Lion City
The Braunschweig Literary Days are part of a diverse literary scene in Braunschweig: alongside the renowned Crime Festival in autumn and the Spring Reading in spring, the Literary Days offer an independent format that focuses on contemporary novels, short stories, essays, and poetry collections, often recently published.
Diversity of Voices
Authors from all over the German-speaking world are invited, as well as international voices in translation. The spectrum ranges from established names to young debut authors. The focus is on the conversation between author and audience: after the readings, there is time for questions, discussions, and personal encounters.
Various Venues
Throughout the Literary Days, a wide variety of city locations are used: bookstores (including Graff), libraries, the State Theatre, cultural centers like Westand, as well as cafés and bars in the city center and the surrounding districts. This variety of locations allows each reading to be staged in the appropriate atmosphere.
Accessible Approach
Some of the events are free of charge, while others are offered at moderate admission prices. The Literary Days aim to lower barriers and introduce people who do not regularly buy books to contemporary literature.
