It is a tremendous honor that I, as the only foreign author, have been invited to give a lecture at the Vienna Literary Festival ‘Rund um die Burg’ in the Vienna Burgtheater. Known for performances by the ‘creme de la crème’ of the Austrian literary scene, this festival will take place online this year on 21 and 22 May 2021 due to Covid-19. The performances will be streamed live. Off to Vienna!
