Overview
Intro
Three days of pure literature
The 17th edition of the St. Gallen Literature Festival Wortlaut will take place from March 27 to 29, 2026. The main theme this year is "über:setzen".
A total of 29 events will be held in St.Gallen in the Lokremise, the Main Post Office Library, the Grabenhalle and the Katharinen City Library.
Among others, the following authors will be appearing: Lukas Bärfuss, Martina Clavadetscher, Navid Kermani, Flurina Badel, Fabio Andina, Romain Buffat, Julia Weber, Jonas Lüscher, Laura Vogt, Nora Gomringer, Miriam Meckel, Helga Schubert, Katinka Ruffieux, Usama Al Shahmani and Vea Kaiser. The aim of the festival is to make the diverse world of literature known to a wide audience and to stimulate debate.
In addition to the numerous readings in the four national languages, the following questions will be discussed as part of the festival: How is a book translated into another language? How can complex topics be conveyed in a way that makes them understandable and accessible? How do we formulate something so that we are really understood?
