Dear Subscribers,
The Austrian Cultural Forum London would cordially like to invite you to a bilingual reading of "Ich bin die Zukunft / I am the Future" by Austrian author Erwin Uhrmann, here at the ACF London on
November 21st, 19:00
As part of his autumn UK tour, Austrian writer Erwin Uhrmann will read from his recently translated novel ‘Ich bin die Zukunft’ (I am the Future – translated by Rachel Hildebrandt).Film and theatre actor Giorgio Spiegelfeld (a.o. Barbican London, Chelsea Theatre, Salzburger Festspiele, Schaubühne Berlin) will read from the English translation. The reading will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Dr. Áine McMurtry, lecturer at King’s College London specialising in modern German and Austrian literature.
‘I am the future’ was called a ‘literary masterpiece’ by Literaturhaus Wien. Dealing with dystopian challenges arising from climate change - a man escapes to a house on a mountain seeking protection and solitude and over the years begins to oversee the breakdown of civilization in the valley - the novel is highly relevant and was therefore featured in a contribution to the Austria in Transit conference at King’s College London this past September.
