Germany @ Canada 2017
Sneak Peek at Norbert Gstrein's New Novel
How does a chosen literary setting affect story, characters, and voice of a novel? Last year, the award-winning author Norbert Gstrein was our featured author during Germany @ Canada's 2017's Borderless Mountains program during IFOA 2017 and at the Banff Centre's Literary Arts and Banff Mountain Festival.
The Hamburg-based author discussed how region and home defined his work and read from his new novel, "Die kommenden Jahre" ("The Upcoming Years"), a story of a climatologist who wants to get rid of his life, his wife and move to Canada. You can read a sample chapter from the new novel here.
