Bettina Steiner and Anne-Catherine Simon really know their way around books and literature. One runs the “Spectrum”, the literature supplement of the “Presse”; the other has been writing literary reviews for the “Presse” for years and was a member of the jury for the German Book Prize in 2021. The duo invites you to the “Bücherei” once a month – and discusses three books: today about Norbert Gstrein’s novel “Four Days, Three Nights”, Kim de l’Horizons “Blood Book” and Anna Kim’s “A Child’s Story”.
About the podcast
With Bettina Steiner and Anne Catherine Simon “Die Presse” has two of the country’s most important literary critics. From June 11th, the literary duo will be talking about books once a month: they are taking on a “book in all windows” which is a well-received new release; a “Book of the Hour” on an urgent topic; and a “Hidden Book” that they would recommend to friends. A podcast for people who are looking for good reading material, but also for those who want to learn more about a book and the author.
From now on once a month on Saturday on the “Presse” website and wherever there are podcasts.
