A literary evening about identity, memory, and the fragile self

As part of the Kaspar Hauser Festival, this lecture in the Onoldiasaal Ansbach focuses on one of the major question complexes of literature: What is the self when memory, biography, and language intertwine? Dr. Peter Guttenhöfer refers to the Nobel Prize-winning author Imre Kertész and his work Me, Another.

Between reading, reflection, and cultural thought

The evening combines literary analysis with an atmospheric presentation format that not only informs but draws the audience into the internal movement of Kertész’s writing. His texts revolve around experience, guilt, survival, and self-interpretation - themes that continue to resonate in cultural discourse to this day.

Imre Kertész as a voice of contemporary European literature

Imre Kertész, Nobel Laureate of 2002, is considered one of the most significant authors in European literary history. His works such as Fateless, Kaddish for a Child Not Born, and The Holocaust as Culture have profoundly shaped 20th-century literature. His writing encapsulates the experience of persecution, exile, and the struggle for linguistic authenticity.

A place for focused attention

The Onoldiasaal in Ansbach provides an appropriate setting for an evening of intellectual gathering with its stage, large hall area, and historic location. The event fits into the profile of the Kaspar Hauser Festival, which has intertwined literary, historical, and artistic perspectives for years.

What attendees can expect

Those attending this lecture will not experience a mere showcase of works but a carefully curated approach to literature as a space of knowledge. A demanding text reference, cultural-historical context, and an evening that reopens questions of identity and self-understanding can be expected. A visit is worthwhile for all who wish to not just read literature but experience it as a spiritual event.
