Book presentation with Birgit Birnbacher

We are very excited! The reading with Birgit Birnbacher can take place as planned on May 11, and we warmly invite you to the book presentation of "They Want to Tell Us." The book: Oz is different and struggles in school, but this time something really stupid has happened to him. On the way home, he wishes for at least a small catastrophe to distract his mother from the letter from the teacher that he has to give her. When Oz gets home, Ann – also equipped with a fluttering nervous disposition – is not in the mood for celebrating report cards as expected, but something has indeed happened. Grandma Zilly, who lives in the mountains, is gone... The author: Birgit Birnbacher, born in 1985, lives as a writer in Salzburg. Her debut novel "We Without Whale" (2016) was awarded the Literature Prize of the Jürgen Ponto Foundation, and she has received numerous awards, including the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize in 2019. Her most recent novels published by Zsolnay are "I by My Side" (2020) and "What We Live From" (2023).
