FM @HeikoMaas at the opening of #fbm19: In a world that craves fast and simple answers, the slow power of literature helps to protect us from authoritarian reflexes, isolationism and simplistic answers. @Book_Fair 
FM @HeikoMaas @Book_Fair: Reading also means taking on other people’s points of view. And that means accepting and experiencing ambiguity. Literature does not only create scope for aesthetic experimentation – it also shows us new worlds and other points of view. #fbm19
