Welcome!
Dear lovers of literature,
At lit.COLOGNE spezial, we are thrilled to present a selection of this autumn’s literary highlights – and shorten the wait until the 27th edition of lit.COLOGNE. We will kick things off on September 9 with two international legends: Literature Nobel Prize winner Han Kang will present her new book “Light and Thread”, while bestselling American author Dave Eggers will introduce his latest novel “Contrapposto” that same evening.
The regular programming of lit.COLOGNE spezial will take place this year from October 3-11. Additional one-off events during the year complement the program. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors and supporters, all artists and contributors – and to you, our incredible audience!
The 27th lit.COLOGNE will take place from February 26 – March 14, 2027.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Your lit.COLOGNE team
