At the PENG! crime fiction festival, several authors will present their latest publications in short readings and moderated discussions \u2013 with DJ music intros to match each book. The audience is treated to exciting literature in a relaxed atmosphere \u2013 books are raffled off in a crime quiz, and drinks and snacks can be brought into the event from the caf\u00e9. The aim of the festival, which features German-speaking and international authors, is to use readings and discussions (as well as sometimes interdisciplinary and cross-genre elements such as film, music and exhibitions) to raise the profile of the \u2018dangerously\u2019 lively crime fiction genre, to invite renowned writers as well as debut authors, and to present their new publications, which are well worth reading, to the audience in a culinary and critical manner. This also builds a bridge between younger and older, well-known and lesser-known writers, showing that the boundaries between popular and serious literature have long since blurred \u2013 and that good crime novels, stories, etc. also have a fixed place in the programme of a literature house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Peng! 17th Crime Fiction Festival Salzburg<\/strong><br>06.11.2025 \u2013 08.11.2025<br>Literaturhaus Salzburg<br>Trubergasse 23<br>H.C.
