SUMMARY:Special Literary Feature | ÜBER: HÖHEPÜNKT/CLIMAX
DESCRIPTION:Crisis can be an opportunity! And that’s exactly why the two Austrian writers Nika Pfeifer & Daniela Emminger recently launched ÜBER, a new and exciting literary magazine.\nÜBER involves neither dusty book walls nor stuffy mansplaining criticism. What the bestselling Swiss author Lukas Bärfuss called a “look into the future of books” inspired the leading Austrian daily newspaper DerStandard to include in its program. After a successful launch during the COVID-19 lockdown featuring episodes dedicated to “BEGINNINGS” and “NOISE&POETRY,” the first season’s finale “ÜBER: HÖHEPÜNKT/CLIMAX” will be broadcast in English on July 23.\nIn cooperation with our colleagues at the Austrian Cultural Forum in Washington D.C, the special episode will focus on U.S. authors and will present an impressive lineup including bestselling author Lily Brett, poet & performer Joe Wenderoth, beat poetry legend Jack Hirshman and many more.\nThe episode will be introduced by ACFDC Director Eva Schöfer and ACFNY Director Michael Haider.\nThe link to the episode is available to watch below:\n\nCheck out previous episodes: https://ueber.tv/episodes/\nABOUT THE WRITERS\nDaniela Emminger studied journalism & communications in Vienna, and worked as a copywriter and editor in Berlin, Lithuania and Latvia before settling in Vienna where she works as a writer and freelance journalist.
