«Literatur am Mittag» mit Martina Kuoni

Let yourself be seduced during your lunch break: Martina Kuoni presents a book, a personality or an incident from the literary world - stimulating, entertaining and informative. Classics and forgotten authors, bay rouvailles and special locations, rebellious writers and sensitive word artists – there is a lot to discover.

The daughter of Katja and Thomas Mann had many livelihoods, as she put it. She was a cabaret artist, war reporter, lecturer, actress. Looking back on her life, she fondly remembered her political cabaret Die Pfeffermühle. No sooner had it been founded than it was forced into exile by the National Socialist regime in 1933. Erika Mann also performed with the ensemble in Graubünden. A portrait of the versatile.

Martina Kuoni, born and raised in Chur, is a German philologist and literary mediator. She offers literary walks in many Swiss cities, moderates author readings, gives lectures and leads reading circles. www.literaturspur.ch
