Felix Leibrock & Gäste: Ein literarisches Quartett

The literary discussion, which always features entertaining—and often lively—debates about four books from the festival, is a staple of the Herbstlese program. Felix Leibrock, author, pastor, and director of the Evangelical Educational Institute in Munich, hosts this familiar, popular, and knowledgeable panel: Ute Lemm, General Director of the Schleswig-Holstein State Theater; Matthias Gehler, longtime program director at MDR Thüringen; and Dirk Löhr, chairman of the Erfurt Herbstlese Association.

Even at the 30th Erfurt Herbstlese, it’s a surprise to see which books have been selected and how these four literature enthusiasts evaluate them. Whether the reviews are praise or criticism, you should definitely form your own opinion—ideally by reading the books yourself and attending the events featuring the authors.
