marotte talk

Manfred Papst finds a way of expressing things that describes them with verve and sharpens the reader’s perception. As a literary critic and cultural journalist, he has been chronicling cultural life for decades, with his field of activity ranging from classical music to pop, rock and jazz; from highbrow literature to an exploration of the very ordinary. In the Marotte Talk, Manfred Papst talks about his work. He will also be bringing along his latest book, *Kopf und Kragen*, which brings together 99 unsolicited pieces of advice on language and its pitfalls. For this volume, the author has selected pieces from his column ‘Zugabe’, which has been appearing in the ‘NZZ am Sonntag’ for 24 years. Manfred Papst, guest Pascal Nater, presenter
