Quo vadis, literature?
- Future of literature - literature of the future
- In dialogue, Literature
The Heidelberg Literary Autumn is under the motto: “Experience reading!” But: does it still exist, the “hunger for books” that Thomas Mann once predicted for the “future of literature”? A declining book market, the fast pace of our digitalised world with its changed communication culture, and increasingly literature is taking place beyond the book – online and multimedia: what do these changes mean for authors, publishers, literature houses and festivals, indeed for an entire city of literature?
Talk about it:
