Matinee with August Schmölzer – Reading “HEIMAT”
AUGUST SCHMÖLZER reads from his new novel “HEIMAT”
Criticism of the homeland from someone who loves it: tradition and the fear of God versus tourism and modernity.
- Love, hate and passion, paired with church, politics and murder
- An atypical Heimatroman – equally critical and affectionate
- A tribute to Western Styria with its culinary delights and the famous Schilcher.
About the author: August Schmölzer was born in 1958 to a farming family in St. Stefan ob Stainz in western Styria, where he lives and works as a freelance artist. After an apprenticeship as a chef and training in theater and acting, he successfully completed his acting studies at the Art University in Graz.
