Festival Neue Literatur - Strangers at Home

  • Austrian Cultural Forum NY 11 East 52nd Street New York, NY, 10022 United States (map)

Join us for an evening of literature, conversation, and celebration as part of Festival Neue Literatur 2025.

The evening begins with the Friedrich Ulfers Prize award ceremony honoring the late translator Tim Mohr, whose work brought German-language voices to English-speaking readers. Michael Reynolds will deliver the laudation, with Erin Clarke accepting the award on Mohr’s behalf. Afterward, the festival’s signature dialogue between this year’s German-language authors — Alois Hotschnig (AUT), Franz Friedrich (DE), Ariane Koch (CH) — and U.S. author Katie Kitamura, moderated by Tess Lewis, promises a lively exchange that explores identity, belonging, and cultural perspective.
