Austria's sharp-tongued bestselling author reads from her new books—biting, witty, and full of social critique. An evening between the glamour of the Opera Ball and the excesses of Oktoberfest.
Description
Stefanie Sargnagel, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Austrian literature, reads from her two latest books, "OPERNBALL" and "OKTOBERFEST." In "OPERNBALL," she steps onto the dance floor of Vienna’s high society—between evening gowns, waltz dreams, and social abysses. With a sharp eye and biting humor, she exposes the absurdities of the upper crust without losing her fascination for this alien world.
In "OKTOBERFEST," she finds herself squeezed into a dirndl at Munich’s folk festival, where she experiences the extremes of Bavarian excess between beer tents, pretzels, and loss of consciousness. Her descriptions are irreverent yet affectionate, casting a spotlight on the quirks of the German-speaking world. Both books combine unflinching observations with captivating humor—a reading that entertains and provokes thought.
