Gegenüber Talks © Ricardo Roa

The Goethe-Instituts in North America invite you to a digital literature series that celebrates the diversity of German literature - from new voices and graphic novels to classics, utopias, and dystopias. The exchange with authors, publicists and literature fans from North America and Germany will lead to exciting conversations - interactive and open to all. You’ll find further information, along with recordings of past GEGENÜBER TALKS, in the GEGENÜBER magazine.

Find an overview of the readings and talks below in the dark blue table.
