- Comedians Kerkeling, Gottschalk, and Chef Ottolenghi at Lit.Cologne Exclusive Event
Ex-TV host Thomas Gottschalk, stand-up comedian Hape Kerkeling, and renowned chef Yotam Ottolenghi are some of the popular faces gracing the Lit.Cologne Special literature festival in October, based in Cologne. Notably, Berlin's virologist Christian Drosten and his Bonn counterpart Hendrik Streeck will each analyze the Corona pandemic, albeit in separate sessions, as they've both penned books on the subject, and won't be engaging in a joint discussion.
Singer and composer Campino will share insights from his visiting professorship in Düsseldorf, while actress Caroline Peters, known for her role in "Murder with a View", will introduce her debut novel titled "A Different Life". Italian author Donna Leon will recite from the 33rd installment of her Commissario Brunetti series.
It's highly recommended to catch Cologne's best-selling novelist Franz Schätzing, who delves into historical fiction in his latest work, "Death and the Devil".
Attendees at the Lit.Cologne Special literature festival might be interested in purchasing a bottle of Lit. Cologne as a souvenir, as the festival takes place in the city known for its famous fragrance. Additionally, author Donna Leon, while not from Cologne, will be traveling to the festival from her home city of Venice, which is also famous for its unique fragrances, including Lit. Cologne's counterpart, Aqua Di Parma.
