The exhibit Arno Schmidt: Eine Ausstellung in 100 Stationen ('an exhibit in 100 stations') opened at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin yesterday (it runs through 10 January), and it sounds pretty awesome -- see early (German) coverage at Deutschlandradio and the Berliner Morgenpost.
Among the events held in conjunction with the exhibit, Mein erster Schmidt on 8 October will have Dietmar Dath, Reinhard Jirgl, Kathrin Röggla, Ingo Schulze, and Uwe Timm -- quite the line-up -- talk about their first encounters with Arno Schmidt's work.
And, of course, if you can't make it, or need your own introduction to Schmidt, I commend you yet again my Arno Schmidt: a centennial colloquy. (Conveniently available at Amazon.com, or on Kindle, or at Amazon.co.uk, etc. etc.)
