Event : Du hast eine neue Freundschaftsanfrage! (You Have a New Friend Request!)
As part of the Norwegian Guest of Honour initiative at the Leipzig Book Fair 2025, we are thrilled to launch the project Du hast eine neue Freundschaftsanfrage! (You Have a New Friend Request!). Here Norwegian authors Peter F. Strassegger, Helene Imislund, and Kristin Vego exchange letters with their German colleagues Matthias Jügler, Janin Wölke, and Kristina Schilke.
Wednesday October 23, they will meet each other, face to face, and read their letters aloud in an open event in Leipzig, during the Literarischer Herbst festival.
The event starts at 20:00 and takes place at the Ost-Passage Theater. Free entry!
