An evening for contemporary literature, reading, and intellectual depth

With Eyesight, a text is brought into focus at the Literature Archive Sulzbach-Rosenberg that questions contemporary literature with a sharp eye and linguistic precision.

Literature as a mapping of the present

The conference looks at the medium of literary magazines and asks how the present becomes visible in the printed literary field. The magazine proves to be a seismograph here: poetry, narrative, and other small forms are given space that is often lacking in the regular literary business. This makes the evening a literarily intriguing format between reading, discussion, and cultural discourse.

Marcel Beyer: Award-winning linguistic art

Marcel Beyer, born in 1965 in Tailfingen, is among the prominent voices of contemporary German-language literature. He studied Germanistik, English, and Literary Studies in Siegen, worked as an editor and publisher, and published novels, essays, libretti, and poems. His works include The Human Flesh, Flying Foxes, Kaltenburg, Putin's Mailbox, and Graphite. For his work, he received the Georg-Büchner-Prize in 2016 and the Peter-Huchel-Prize in 2021, among others.

Reading and discussion in a concentrated atmosphere

The combination of reading and discussion promises not just a mere exhibition of works, but a precise author encounter. Those who know Beyer's writing expect a language that connects historical awareness, poetic density, and critical sharpness of the present. This creates a literary experience in an archive and literature house that resonates far beyond the evening.
