Join us, and our local partners at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, for On the Road: Readings with Young German Authors.

Organized by the Goethe-Institut, in cooperation with the German Literature Institute in Leipzig and local partners throughout the USA, ON THE ROAD presents two up-and-coming young German authors, Louise Kenn and Mücahit Türk for a month‑long literary journey across the United States.

As they venture the country, stopping along the way to gain impressions of daily life in America, they will share their insights on writing, culture, and the art of storytelling through a series of public readings, lively discussions, and thoughtful conversations with local audiences. As part of their cross‑country travels, Kenn and Türk will visit the Department of World Languages and Cultures at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where they will share their texts and stories in a reading that offers a distinctive cross‑cultural glimpse into contemporary German literature.

Special thanks to Kirsten Barnstorf-DeBord and Kathy Callahan for co-organizing this event in Las Vegas.

The event will take place in the framework of the current Thomas Mann "Democracy Will Win" Exhibit that is presented in cooperation with the Thomas Mann House.

At each stop of their road trip, the authors will share their experiences and reflections in the Goethe-Institut’s online magazinewww.goethe.de/gegenuber and on social media, offering personal insights into the people, places, exchanges, and perspectives they have gathered throughout their journey.
