A wide variety of authors, including many from Saxony-Anhalt, are expected to attend the festival. Apparently, more than 40 events have been planned. The event will start in The Literature House Halle.

Saxony-Anhalt is known for its love for literature and reading, according to Minister President Reiner Haseloff, who is also the patron of the event. "Reading allows people to discover a whole new world of culture, and literature remains the primary medium of our spiritual realm," he added.

The Literature Days have been a tradition since 1992, and their locations keep changing every year. Notable events this year include a reading from author Matthias Jügler ("Mayfly Season") in The Magdeburg Literature House and a reading from Clemens Meyer ("The Projectors") in The Literature House Halle.
