Who let the authors out?

The streets of Bern have been taken over by authors!

They're in the Gasschens




they're on the fountains



they're in front of the Münster



and on the Münsterplatform overlooking the Aare.



They're reading literature in the streets of the city.



It's Literaturfest Bern.

I think this is the first year they've done this, Lillian. I hope they do it again, it was pretty cool in spite of the bad weather - of course it started to rain during the author I most wanted to hear, Ruth Schweikert, but not too hard and she kept reading (she was under a tent) and I stood under the arcades to get out of the rain.

It was pretty cool but I was surprised by fairly small crowds at each reading. I hope they do it again next year.
