Novelist, poet, and publisher Michael Krüger knows a lot about both sides of the book business. He has a distinguished record as head of the German publishing house Hanser Verlag and is editor of the influential journal Akzente. He has an equally glittering reputation as an award-winning novelist and a poet. His latest book, The Executor: A Comedy of Letters, is a witty, ironic, charming commentary on writers, their books, and their long-suffering friends. Today he’ll read from his work and talk about his lifelong love of literature.
