Author and Der Spiegel journalist reads and discusses politics
Dirk Kurbjuweit is an author and deputy editor-in-chief at Germany’s most important political magazine
Der Spiegel. He received numerous awards, including the Egon Erwin Kisch Prize for journalism.
We are delighted to welcome Dirk Kurbjuweit to Australia as a guest of the Goethe-Institut – along with his latest thriller
Fear, which was recently translated into English and is available through
Text Publishing. The novel tells the story of a man who lives a sheltered life in Berlin-Lichtenfelde with his picture-perfect family – until his neighbour mutates into an intrusive stalker. Things escalate, and the rest is for you to find out.
With elections in Germany only weeks away, Dirk Kurbjuweit will also talk about the political situation in Germany, Europe and the world. Kurbjuweit is a well-known commentator and analyst, has published critically acclaimed books about Angela Merkel's politics, and often appears as an expert in German talk shows.
The talk will be hosted by renowned Australian journalist
Laura Tingle. In her role as political editor for the Australian Financial Review she is always on the pulse of current affairs and known for her edgy commentary.
