The exclusive reading "Bachmann meets Aussee" with Wolfgang Popp and Christoph Szalay will take place on August 29, 2026 at 8:30 p.m. at the G'sund und Natur Hotel DIE WASNERIN.

The event brings together two prominent voices of contemporary Austrian literature, who open up different perspectives on memory, identity, and human experience with their texts.

“Bachmann meets Aussee” with Wolfgang Popp and Christoph Szalay

When literature meets the Ausseerland, a space for special encounters is created.

Under the title “Bachmann Prize 2.0,” two texts that have already experienced their first public trial at the Ingeborg Bachmann Competition 2026 will once again take the stage at the literary hotel DIE WASNERIN.

Not as a repetition, but as a second encounter. Because literature changes with every space, every voice, and every audience.
A literary moment, two authors who stand for the diversity of contemporary literature in very different ways. This time, there is no final, no jury, and no points. It’s about what comes before all that - about the text itself and about the encounter between literature and the audience.

A special summer evening in the Ausseerland.
