A number of female authors who have been honored with major awards this year are expected at the Literary Autumn in Leipzig next week. Martina Hefter, who only received the German Book Prize on Monday, will read from her award-winning novel "Hey guten Morgen, wie geht es dir?". She will appear together with her husband Jan Kuhlbrodt, who will read from his book "Krüppelpassion".
The Peace Prize winner of the German Book Trade, Anne Applebaum, is also coming to Leipzig. According to the organizers, she will speak about her journalistic and historical work on autocratic systems.
