The event will take place at the Austrian Cultural Forum New York (www.acfny.org) on March 3, 2017. It will run for approximately three hours, kicking off at 5pm with a private meet-and-greet session at which students are introduced to the festival’s six German-language authors over refreshments. Kathriana Kengni will interview the author Simon Froehling. The evening will be moderated by the festival curator and Grove Atlantic senior editor Peter Blackstock.
