A Literary Tribute to Franz Kafka

28 Jun 2025

16:00 - 17:00

City Hall

Marking the centenary of Franz Kafka’s death, join award-winning novelist and PEN International President Burhan Sönmez for a profound literary tribute to one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century.  

Blending personal reflection with literary insight, Sönmez explores Kafka’s enduring relevance, from his themes of alienation and absurdity to his radical vision of power, identity, and resistance.  

This evocative event invites readers and writers alike to rediscover Kafka not only as a literary giant but as a mirror for the anxieties and complexities of our age.
