Festival Neue Literatur Presents | Born This Way: Writing the Personal

Festival Neue Literatur, the first and only festival to spotlight German-language and American fiction together, will take place March 2 – 5, at venues throughout New York City. The theme of the 2017 festival, curated by Peter Blackstock, senior editor at Grove Atlantic, is “Queer as Volk.” As queer people face a hazardous political climate both in the United States and in Europe, stories about the LGBTQ community become all the more critical. As do the questions: How do queer stories reach readers? To what extent is gay writing still subversive? And how do we ensure that the stories of LGBTQ people are told in a time of rising reactionary sentiment?
