Reading and discussion as part of the LiteraTour festival. Michael Köhlmeier invites the audience on a personal journey, addressing themes from Shakespeare to Coco Chanel, exploring questions about the meaning of life, boredom, fairy tales for children and adults, and the possibility of making the world a better place. He will converse with Jérôme Jaminet about important existential questions. After the reading and discussion, a reception will be held to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the association “Freed um Liesen.”
Michael Köhlmeier (born 1949 in Hard am Bodensee) is the author of numerous novels (such as “Zwei Herren am Strand” (2014), “Matou” (2021), “Frankie” (2023), “Das Philosophenschiff” (2024), and “Die Verdorbenen” (2025), all published by Hanser), as well as essay collections. He has received several notable literary awards, including the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Literature Prize (2017), the Marie Luise Kaschnitz Prize, the Ferdinand-Berger-Preis (2019), and in 2020, the Johann-Nestroy-Ring.
