In 2026, the Picador Guest Professorship for Literature celebrates its 20th anniversary. Since its founding in 2006, 38 international authors have enriched Leipzig’s literary scene and helped shape literary exchange.
To honour the long-standing partnership between Leipzig University, the American Studies department, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, Picador and Holtzbrinck Berlin, and to celebrate the remarkable artists who have come to Leipzig over the past 20 years, the anniversary invites you to explore quotes, memories, highlights, and more.
Dive in and enjoy the throwbacks and special moments from our anniversary year!
