This autumn, book lovers and literary aficionados can once again rendezvous at the Millenáris, in the National Dance Theatre. Those who will present their new books at the Autumn Margó include Petra Finy, Márton Gerlóczy, János Háy, István Kemény Gábor Németh, Márton Simon, Anna Szabó T., Csaba Szendrői, László Szilasi and Pál Závada. The Margó Prize for the best first volume of prose will again be presented at the festival.
The tenth, anniversary edition of the event will also welcome some of the most exciting names in international contemporary literature, among them Claudia Durastanti, Silvester Lavrík, Jens Liljestrand, Terézia Mora, Sofi Oksanen and Irene Solà. In the evenings, unique encounters between music and literature will take place: Anima Sound System, for instance, will bring their Bob Dylan show to the Margó (the singer-songwriter is a literary Nobel Prize laureate), and the four-day festival will close with a musical interpretation of László Kollár-Klemencz’s new novel.
This programme of the Liszt Fest is presented by Müpa Budapest as a joint event with Kultúrkombinát Kft.
