Radio Lora: Literature in the ears
Literature Week on Radio Lora: From August 1 through 7, the alternative local radio station will be broadcasting poetry, short stories, book reviews, author profiles, radio plays, novel excerpts, and much more.
According to the station, the literature week gives space to everything that usually goes unnoticed in the mainstream literary scene. "We want to spend a week discovering works beyond the mainstream together with our listeners and whet their appetite for small forms, experimental texts, multilingual approaches, subversive books and the cryptic." Each day of the literature week has a specific theme. On Monday, the whole day belongs to women, with female writers from Zurich and German-speaking Switzerland presenting their work. Every morning, a poem sets the mood for the day. Radio play productions created in German-language independent radio stations are given a special place.
On Wednesday, August 3, Lora also invites literature enthusiasts to the studio at 8 pm. The young Zurich author Enzo Scavone will be reading from his own texts in German and English.
