Clarissa Stadler presents the FGLL 09
For the first time in 2009, Clarissa Stadler (ORF/3sat) will present the readings and discussions in the ORF Theatre. She will replace Dieter Moor, who made a guest appearance in Klagenfurt for just one year.
Stadler is hoping for “magic literary moments”.
“It is nice to be able to present the Festival of German-Language Literature”, says Clarissa Stadler, who is happy about her new responsibility. “I am very much looking forward to accompanying the traditional reading competition in Klagenfurt and I hope that this famously creative climate will once again produce magic literary moments.”
For her, the competition for the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize is “an artistic state of emergency in the best sense possible”, especially since so many television viewers are able to participate, says Stadler.
Stadler: “The reading competition is not a literature casting show, it is a respectable competition. It will be my responsibility to mediate between the parties.”

Clarissa Stadler was born in 1966 in Vienna and grew up in Germany, Belgium and Austria. She studied Commercial Sciences in Vienna. Following a television internship with TV channel ARTE, the committed cultural journalist from Vienna worked for various print media including the “Standard”.
