Book Event Alert - Berlin International Literature Festival 6-16 Sept

https://literaturfestival.com/en/

It is again the time of year for the Berlin International Literature Festival, with a huge array of literary events going on all over town. There's readings from authors famous and obscure; discussions on topics from translation, podcasting, and any -ism you can think of in books.

Top billing is Werner Herzog

And Salman Rushdie (w Daniel Kehlmann)

There's even going to be a paperback swap! (I'll post as a separate event)
And the annual graphic novel day is fun. (Also will post separately)

Just scrolling through the events list is inspiring and a little overwhelming.
