About this event
The Saxon Literature Prize goes to Heike Geißler, the Leipzig author best known for „Saisonarbeit“, her account of temporary work in an Amazon warehouse. The ceremony is held in the city library’s skylit Oberlichtsaal and run by the Saxon literature council: laudation, reading and prize, inside the Literarischer Herbst festival.
