Dora Kaprálová: Die Mariborhypnose, Book Premiere

Author Dora Kaprálová presents her novel Die Mariborhypnose at Literaturhaus Berlin, in conversation with literary scholar and journalist Katrin Schumacher.

The narrator travels to the small Slovenian city of Maribor to write a guidebook and instead explores it through the eyes of a fly, with present-day characters meeting historical figures such as Josip Broz Tito. In 2026 the book won the Magnesia Litera Book of the Year prize and the European Union Prize for Literature, among others.

Actor Stephan Wolf-Schönburg reads the German text. Doors open at 18:30; a livestream is available.
