Max Goldt reads "But?" at the Frankfurter Hof Mainz

On April 20, 2027, the Frankfurter Hof Mainz will be transformed into a place for precise observation, fine mockery, and linguistic artistry. Max Goldt presents texts from his book "But?" and guides his audience through the comical, contradictory, and occasionally absurd sides of everyday life.

Linguistic Art between Satire and Literary Miniature

Max Goldt's texts often begin in the seemingly familiar and lead to surprising mental detours. Everyday scenes, linguistic slip-ups, and societal habits are dissected with a polished style. The humor arises from careful observation, pointed prose, and a keen sense of the subtle shifts between colloquial language, mannerism, and literary form.

An Evening with a Distinct Voice of Contemporary Literature

Goldt was born in 1958 in Göttingen and lives in Berlin. He became known as a long-time columnist for the satire magazine "Titanic." Since 1996, he has been part of the comic duo Katz & Goldt; previously, he was a member of the band Foyer des Arts. For his literary work, he received the Kleist Prize in 2008. His readings combine literary quality with dry wit, precise rhythm, and an unmistakable stage presence.

“But?”: Comedy in the Apparently Self-Evident

The collection "But?" brings together pointed prose texts, satirical observations, and playful linguistic miniatures about everyday life, thinking, and speaking. Goldt takes the small contradictions of coexistence seriously enough to describe them precisely and lightly enough to craft a literary experience that balances laughter and reflection.

Reading Atmosphere at the Frankfurter Hof

The Frankfurter Hof is one of the central cultural venues in the Mainz old town. This traditional cultural center stands for a versatile program of readings, theatre, concerts, and cabaret. In this atmosphere, Goldt's linguistic precision meets an established event venue in the Mainz cultural scene.
