Clemens Meyer reads from "Die Projektoren"
Born in Halle / Saale in 1977, he made his highly successful debut in 2006 with "Als wir träumten". He has received numerous prizes for his extensive work, including the Klopstock Prize for New Literature for his previous work.
In the Velebit Mountains, a former partisan experiences the adventurous filming of the Winnetou movies. Decades later, the brutal battles of the Yugoslav Wars take place here - in the midst of it all, a group of young right-wing radicals from Dortmund experience the futility of their ideology. And in Leipzig, the texts of a former patient are discussed at a conference in a psychiatric clinic: How did he manage to disappear without a trace? And what connects him to the world traveler Dr. May? An epic about the crises of Europe and the art of storytelling.

Every winter from October to January, selected authors of contemporary German-language literature go on the LiteraTour Nord and read from their new publications in Oldenburg, Bremen, Lübeck, Rostock, Lüneburg, Hanover and Osnabrück. The readings will take place in local literature houses and bookshops, moderated by professors and lecturers who will each offer a seminar at their universities to accompany the tour. By taking part, the authors are also competing for the LiteraTour Nord prize, which is awarded annually by the VGH Foundation and is endowed with 15,000 euros. The jury consists of the organizers and presenters and the audience. The audience vote is determined by voting card at each of the venues. The prerequisite for voting is that you have seen all six events of the current LiteraTour Nord.
