Culture days in Lana

19.08.-23.08.2012

Renowned WRITERS are meeting in Lana. There will hardly be any contemporary writer, who hasn't heard about Lana yet. Over the past 35 years this place has become a point of reference for authors from all over Europe.

In 1975 the book club "Verein der Bücherwürmer-Literatur Lana" was founded. And since then writers, translators and poets are coming to Lana in order to celebrate language with readings, book presentations and conventions.

This continuity paired with a constantly high standard of the events attract such high calibre writers as the Nobel prize winner Herta Müller, Oskar Pastior, H. C. Artmann, Friederike Mayröcker, Thomas Kling, Josef Winkler or Reinhard Jirgl to Lana.

Since some of these authors have recently been honoured with renowned literary awards the great reputation of Literatur Lana has gained even more acclaim, if that's possible. Therefore take the opportunity during our regular readings and the Culture Days in autumns to enjoy the magic of word and get to know famous contemporary writers in person.

The meeting point for these events is "kultur.lana" where the public library also boasts a vast choice of books and other media for your entertainment.
