Every year in May, the city of Solothurn becomes a meeting point for authors from Switzerland and the international scene. Over three days, readings, workshops, discussions, and thematic events take place, providing a diverse insight into current literature. The festival places great importance on the exchange between writers and the audience. Many events are designed to be open, allowing for questions, conversations, and closeness to the authors.
Young literary voices are also given space, so the Solothurn Literature Days continually open new perspectives on writing and reading. The Literature Days utilize various locations in Solothurn, including cultural houses, courtyards, museums, and other spaces that become literary venues for a few days.
This broad anchoring in the city creates a special atmosphere where literature becomes immediately tangible. We support the Solothurn Literature Days as a sponsor because this festival makes the diversity of Swiss literature visible and strengthens the exchange between readers, writers, publishers, and bookstores. The Solothurn Literature Days are an integral part of Switzerland's cultural life and demonstrate every year how vibrant and open the literary scene is.
