FRANKFURTER BUCHMESSE 2016
21’ Time is not something visitors have in abundance at the Book Fair, but, 21 minutes isn’t really too much to ask, particularly when you know you’ll be experiencing a one-off performance that is precisely 21 minutes long, in which various art forms from Flanders and the Netherlands meet literature.

TYPISCH EUROPA & DER SINN DES LESENS
Tribute to Pieter Steinz
Pieter Steinz (1963-2016), who recently died of ALS, was a man of many talents: a writer, a journalist and the director of the Dutch Foundation for Literature. In March 2014 Steinz was awarded the Golden Quill ‘because, in an inimitable fashion, he placed literature, both Dutch and foreign, in a new kind of literary history’. Two of his books have been translated into German this year: Typisch Europa. Ein Kulturverführer in 100 Stationen (Knaus) and Der Sinn des Lesens (Reclam). These books have inspired many readers and literature-lovers. Dutch writers Herman Koch and Tommy Wieringa as well as British writer John Burnside will share with the audience what they find inspiring about Typisch Europa. German translater Gerd Busse will read a story from Der Sinn des Lesens. Moderator: Thomas Böhm AGORA / LESEZELT 21.10. | 6:00 – 7:00 pm
