Festival Neue Literatur: No Joke

Saturday, February 27, 2016 @ 6:00 pm

As though we weren’t depressed enough, the folks at Festival Neue Literatur bring Nietzsche into the mix:

Nietzsche says that humans alone laugh because we alone suffer so deeply that we had to invent laughter. How do writers use humor in their work to confront, navigate and come to terms with pain, trauma and crisis? What roles can literary humor play in response to distressing, harrowing or nightmarish experiences?

Come wallow in existential angst with Xaver Bayer, Sibylle Berg, Iris Hanika and James Hannaham.
