(The Corona Diaries)
Based on the cancelled program of events that had been planned at the Literaturhaus Graz from mid-March to the end of June 2020, we invited a number of Austrian authors to keep a diary on the effects of the coronavirus and the measures taken against it on everyday life and the state of society.
The texts were regularly published on our homepage until the summer. Participants: Helena Adler, Bettina Balàka, Birgit Birnbacher, Melitta Breznik, Ann Cotten, Nava Ebrahimi, Valerie Fritsch, Monika Helfer, Lisz Hirn, Lucia Leidenfrost, Christian Mähr, Robert Pfaller, Benjamin Quaderer, Julya Rabinowich, Angelika Reitzer, Kathrin Röggla, Thomas Stangl, Michael Stavarič, and Daniel Wisser.
We are now taking the opportunity to look back over this dynamic web of posts: What actually went on over the last six months? Which observations were made? How did authors react, not only to the circumstances but also to each other’s posts? Does literature help us to deal with crises? And if so, how?
With Margarethe Tiesel and Franz Solar
