Short Story Night

In the organizer's words:

Moderator: Mona Ameziane

Five short stories by five authors in a special setting - that's SHORT STORY NIGHT. Where the greats of the movie world usually flicker across the screen! The evenings are hosted by well-known presenters such as Mona Ameziane (WDR, Westart, 1live).

Short story is the English term for short story - a special literary form whose main characteristic is that it can be read in one sitting. Emerging with the magazine boom of the 19th century, the short story has since established itself as a narrative form and, due to its brevity, offered many famous authors the opportunity for literary experimentation.
