Alleinruhelage
Austrian novelist Eva Menasse reads from her new Kiepenheuer & Witsch novel about a woman starting over alone at a lakeside weekend house.
Why go
An evening reading with the Vienna-born author Eva Menasse, who presents her latest novel about a woman left suddenly alone at the East German lakeside cottage where she once spent happy family summers. Expect Menasse's dry, observant prose, drawn here into questions of foreignness and belonging as Polish workers help renovate the house and old German-German history resurfaces. It is a straightforward author reading in German at the Literaturhaus, the kind of quiet, attentive evening its regulars come for. Tickets go on sale on 1 August 2026 via Reservix.
