News:
Tash Aw, Maxim Biller, Svenja Leiber, Jakub Małecki, Anna Prizkau, Karl Schlögel and Stefan Weidner unfortunately had to cancel their participation in the festival at short notice for compelling reasons.
Some of the cancellations reached us after the detailed program went to press (as of 6.12.). The reading by Tash Aw on Friday evening at 8 pm has been canceled. Instead, Sayaka Murata will be reading at 8 pm (instead of 4 pm) in the James Baldwin tent. The panel discussions with Svenja Leiber and Stefan Weidner will take place without her as planned.
