Literature as refuge and life path
At the center is a text about origins, silence, and the search for belonging. Ani tells of a childhood in Bavaria, of a family caught between flight, alienation, and arrival – and of literature as a hideaway that provides support when language remains fragile. It is this mixture of personal memory and societal depth that makes the evening so appealing for readers. ([suhrkamp.de](https://www.suhrkamp.de/lesung/friedrich-ani-v-49861))
An author with weight and experience
Friedrich Ani, born in 1959, lives in Munich and writes novels, poems, radio plays, plays, screenplays, and short stories. His works have been translated into ten languages and honored with numerous awards, including multiple German Crime Awards as well as the Adolf Grimme Award, the Bavarian Television Prize, and the Golden Romy. This lends considerable authority to the reading and makes the evening a special literary experience. ([suhrkamp.de](https://www.suhrkamp.de/lesung/friedrich-ani-v-49861))
