THE INTERNATIONAL LITERATURE FESTIVAL BERLIN (ILB) AND THE LEPSIUSHAUS POTSDAM

Feb 23 2015

The international literature festival berlin (ilb) and the Lepsiushaus
Potsdam are organising a worldwide reading on the 100th anniversary
of the Armenian Genocide and we are calling on cultural institutions,
radio broadcasters and universities as well as schools to take part
in the initiative and to organise their own readings on April 21, 2015.

The text selected for the reading has been taken from
chapters seven and eight from The Book of Whispers by Varujan
Vosganian. You can access the text in 15 languages on our website
at Shortly you will also find
information there about where readings will be taking place.

More than 300 authors from more than 65 countries are supporting
this initiative, among them Nobel Prize for Literature laureates
Mario Vargas Llosa, Herta Muller, Elfriede Jelinek, Orhan Pamuk,
Gunter Grass and John M. Coetzee.

If you would like to organise a reading, please send
us the relevant information by the 30th of March 2015 to
worldwidereading@literaturfestival.com, including details of the
exact location and time of your event as well as the name of the
participants.

Thank you for your support and for passing on this appeal.

My very best regards,
