Thanks to the initiative of the Austrian Literary Society, the impressions, emotions and memories of writers who have made reading trips to various countries are available online. One of these Austrian writers who made a literary tour in Russia was Maša Dabić. The text of the trip is available in German: The part of the novel you could read in German: "»Ich bin halbe Russin«, antwortete ich früher automatisch, wenn ich, auf Grund meines Vornamens gefragt wurde, ob ich russische Wurzeln hätte. Bis mir irgendwann dämmerte, wie unsinnig diese meine Standardantwort war. Was heißt schonhalbe Russin? Wie kann man sich das vorstellen, die linke Körperhälfte russisch, der Rest nicht-russisch? Oder bis zur Taille russisch und weiter nicht? Was ist an mir russisch? – die Augen jedenfalls nicht, sie sind dunkelbraun und ich habe sie eindeutig von meinem bosnischen Vater geerbt..."

Erich Klein was on a reading tour in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk and Moscow from January 26 to February 10, 2022. You can read more about the reading tour in the trip report: "Der Autor Max Brod, ein Freund Kafkas, berichtet, dieser habe beim Vorlesen seiner Texte immer wieder so sehr gelacht, dass er seinen Vortrag unterbrechen musste. Vor allem die Nachwelt, die Kafka als Autor düsterer Bücher wie »Der Prozess« oder »Das Schloss«, oder von Erzählungen wie »Die Verwandlung« kennt, zeigte sich irritiert."
