An evening full of memory, language, and quiet power

With Jura's Last Winter, Edgar Selge opens an evening at the Göttingen Literature Autumn that makes literature an intense stage experience. On Friday, October 2, 2026, at 7:00 PM, he will read in the Sheddachhalle at the Sartorius Quartier in Göttingen from the novel that centers on the diary of 15-year-old Jura Rjabinkin. Selge weaves personal memory, historical violence, and great linguistic artistry into a performance of particular concentration.

When language becomes the scene

The material carries the weight of the Leningrad blockade within it, but Selge confronts it not with pathos, but with precise observation, psychological nuance, and the power of storytelling. BR24 describes the book as compelling and vivid, a dialogue with a boy whose diary remains a shocking testament of clarity in the face of death by starvation. It is from this that the special theater atmosphere of the evening grows: not a mere reading, but a concentrated play between voice, silence, and inner movement.

Edgar Selge on the path from actor to great storyteller

The fact that this text carries on the stage also lies in Edgar Selge's background as an actor. His precise work with the text and his fine sense of inner tension shape the tone of the evening. The novel connects to his debut Have You Finally Found Us and continues his literary signature: attentive, relentless, with great linguistic sovereignty. For the audience, this creates a dense evening that connects literature, dramaturgy, and the art of acting in a special way.

A special place for a special text

The Sheddachhalle in the Sartorius Quartier offers the fitting framework for this. The historical venue is established as a cultural and meeting place and accommodates up to about 620 people; at the same time, it is part of a vibrant neighborhood with cultural use. Seating, clear room guidance, and the industrial architecture create an environment where Selge's compelling literature can strongly unfold.

For whom this evening is worthwhile

Those who appreciate literary readings with depth, historical subjects with contemporary relevance, and the presence of an outstanding actor will find here an evening of rare weight. The reactions to the novel in the press have already been remarkably attentive: Selge is described as a gifted stylist who brings a dead person to life with language. This stage experience promises no loud gesture, but lasting effect. ([br.de](https://www.br.de/nachrichten/kultur/ein-begnadeter-stilist-edgar-selges-juras-letzter-winter%2CVUEU4lg))
