Outings – Hikes

Three authors from the Salzburg Authors' Group (SAG) present their literary works under the theme "Out – Journeys." Kurt Rebol reads from "Tastmasken" (Touch Masks), a lyrical prose that revisits the colonial myth of "Inkle and Yariko." The story tells of the tragic relationship between a British merchant and his indigenous partner, whose fate is shaped by global injustices.

Christian Weingartner presents his novel "JOE," based on a true story. He portrays the life of Josef Ebner from the Mühlviertel region, who emigrates to America in 1922 to escape poverty. However, his path leads him into crime and ultimately to Alcatraz prison.

Ulrike Wurzer reads texts that capture inner and outer journeys into foreign worlds and times. She reflects on the loss of home, the search for a new place to live, and recounts supernatural experiences that establish contact with another reality.
