Motto:

TABOO OR NOT TABOO?

Description:

To taboo or not, that is the question!

In times of information overload and "unlimited" media access, it would be logical for taboo topics to not exist. But instead we live in an era of post-ideology, "fake-news" and tabooing, which is actually the mask of empty publicity. That's why this year's BOOKSTAR brings writers whose works dissect the pain points of society today to the core.

Literature for you, lovely people!
