About

Readux is a Berlin-based literary website with reviews, interviews, articles, and opinion on German and French books and events.

For you, reader, Readux is a precious source of English-language information by people engaged in local book culture. For us, Readux is a chance to talk about the things we find most interesting or troubling in our reading lives, literary therapy for the lingually displaced. Hopefully, everyone walks away entertained.

As Berliners we’re interested in providing a glimpse into the book culture we’re immersed in, but we’re also travelers, and we’ll be providing dispatches on-location when we find something note-worthy.

We’re not promising to be encyclopedic — you won’t find coverage of every prize and fair here. In fact, we’re doing a better job when we can offer an intimate view of a little-covered subject that you wouldn’t have heard of otherwise.

Why “Readux”? Because we’re giving a book or event a second life in English — or restoring the world to its pre-Babel unity, not to be grandiose or anything.
