New Bachmann time(s) 2011
The 35th edition of the Bachmann Prize is being held in July for the first time since the existence of the competition, otherwise sport and literature media would clash and we all know how such "matches" are generally covered.
More information about this and all other current events can be found on the Bachmann Homepage news channel.
"Babylonisch" is also the same this year
The Bachmann Prize tirelessly makes its way to Europe - the biographies and literary texts which will be presented as part of the competition by the participants are again of course available in 2011 in German, French, Italian, English, Spanish, Slovenian, Czech Croatian.
The following link is an overview of the entire project and also the biographies of those of whom without which none of this would be possible - our translators.
Klagenfurt connected: The writers-in-residence
Many authors who have once read in Klagenfurt - whether as part of the Bachmann Prize or for the Literature Course - always hold a connection with the city. An important factor in this respect is that the city has once again made the post of "writer-in-residence" a permanent fixture. In 2010 this was Karsten Krampitz who moved into the townhouse, this year however it will be none other than Bachmann prize winner Peter Wawerzinek.
Wawerzinek is the writer-in-residence 2011
