Let yourself be seduced during your lunch break: Martina Kuoni presents a book, a personality or an incident from the literary world of Graubünden and Eastern Switzerland – stimulating, entertaining and informative. Classics and forgotten authors, bay rouvailles and special locations, rebellious writers and sensitive word artists – there is a lot to discover.

"No writer in his right mind writes an autobiography." This autobiography begins with this sentence. Urs Widmer (1938-2014) ignored his own warning and wrote a rich book of memories entitled "Journey to the Edge of the Universe". This journey began in Basel, shortly before the Second World War. It led the author on very different paths to distant regions, both on the outside and on the inside. This last book by Urs Widmer, to whom the last event in the series is dedicated, is also full of humour and eloquent.

Martina Kuoni, born and raised in Chur, is a German philologist and literary mediator. She offers literary walks in many Swiss cities, moderates author readings, gives lectures and leads reading circles. www.literaturspur.ch/
