About this event
The 23rd edition of Vienna's open-air literature festival takes over the MuseumsQuartier courtyard every Thursday of the summer. On this evening Birgit Birnbacher presents her new book "Sie wollen uns erzählen", preceded at 20:00 by an emerging author in the festival's long-running debuts strand. Deckchairs, a bar and a relaxed courtyard crowd make it one of the city's easiest literary nights out.
