Das Magazin Festival will take place 16 May in Amsterdam as a part of European Literature Night, with the contribution of the Czech Centre Rotterdam and EUNIC Netherlands. The Czech writer Marek Šindelka will be one of the festival guests. Šindelka will present his work during the program Don Quichot 3D Totaalervaring, which is the highlight of the festival every year. Šindelka will discuss with the readers his article in the festival publication during the couple of brief readings sessions. The publication is completely devoted to madness, crazy heroes and similar quixotic themes this year.
