International Literature Festival Berlin will begin on Sep. 9 and end on September 19. The International Literature Festival Berlin will take place this year. This year, the 20th International Literature Festival Berlin will take place from 9 to 19 September 2020. For eleven days, contemporary authors from all over the world will take turns presenting their new prose or poems.
Every year in September and since 2001, the Berlin International Literature Festival has been serving as a platform to present contemporary developments in prose, poetry, non-fiction, graphic novels and literature for children and young adults from all over the world. Political topics and scholarly discourses on topical issues can be debated there, while actively promoting reading and literature education. All texts are read in the original language, with interpreters translating the pieces into German.
