Literary Salon in the Community Building - Axel Hacke

Hacke has written several thousand columns over many decades, primarily for the Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazine, in addition to more than thirty books. And what is he doing now? He is telling us how he did it. He also reads to us. However, since he cannot read everything (at least not really in one evening), he only reads the best, yes, to be precise, the very best, the funniest, the most thought-provoking, the smartest, the most cheerful, so that one can say: Actually, he has prepared his entire life as an author for this one evening, yes, exactly: for the best evening, no, the very best. Axel Hacke lives as a writer in Munich. His column "Das Beste aus aller Welt" is famous, which he has published every Friday in the magazine of the Süddeutsche Zeitung for decades. His books are bestsellers. His work has been awarded, among others, the Joseph Roth Prize, two Egon Erwin Kisch Prizes, the Theodor Wolff Prize, and most recently the Ben Witter Prize in 2019.
