Max Goldt liest

In the organizer's words:

"Very little beats Max Goldt's texts, at most the reading of Max Goldt's texts by Max Goldt. It doesn't get any better than this." Westfalenpost

Max Goldt, born in Göttingen in 1958, lives in Berlin. Together with Gerd Pasemann, he formed the music duo "Foyer des Arts", in which he declaimed his own texts. Max Goldt has published ten comic books together with Katz. He often travels the German-speaking world as a speaker of his own texts. In 1997 he was awarded the Kassel Literature Prize for grotesque humor, in 1999 the Richard Schönfeld Prize for literary satire, in 2008 the Kleist Prize and the Hugo Ball Prize and in 2016 the Göttinger Elch.

Every good person between Passau and Flensburg knows that Max Goldt's work is very funny. But the fact that, if you read it carefully, it is among the most finely crafted that our literature has to offer, that it contains true wonders of elegance and poetry and that his deceptive flights of thought conceal the most precise composition and a dazzlingly bright moral intelligence, still escapes many who are only after laughter and punchlines. Max Goldt should be read, praised and honored. Daniel Kehlmann
