Ursula Poznanski in Bayreuth: Reading from Canvas at RW21

Ursula Poznanski brings literary tension to Bayreuth with Canvas

When one of the most successful German-speaking thriller authors reads at RW21, more than just a literary event occurs: It becomes a literary experience between future anxiety, digital power, and precise language art. Ursula Poznanski presents Canvas, a near-future thriller that transforms virtual worlds, societal pressure, and a conflict over the Mastermind system into a highly concentrated reading atmosphere.

Virtual worlds, real unrest

Canvas delves deep into a future where the Earth is barely habitable, and people escape to digital realities. This constellation lends the reading the oppressive relevance for which Ursula Poznanski is known: technological dystopia, societal intensification, and a thriller genre that never settles for mere surface. The author connects with her large readership, who have accompanied her since Erebos and other bestsellers. ([ursula-poznanski.de](https://ursula-poznanski.de/))

Reading, signing session, and book table

The evening at RW21 is organized as a reading followed by a signing session. In cooperation with the Weigel bookstore, a book table will be available on-site, allowing attendees to take the work home immediately and have it signed. The event is aimed at adults and teenagers and is announced as a lecture and reading as part of the RW21 reading autumn.

A place with clear structure and good connections

The Black Box in the basement of the RW21 City Library is a compact event space in a central location. The venue offers barrier-free access, an accessible restroom, bicycle parking, and parking opportunities in the vicinity. Especially practical: RW21 is easily reachable by bus from several stops, including Oberfrankenhalle, Wahnfried, and Sternplatz.

Why this evening counts literarily

Ursula Poznanski represents suspense literature with a clear concept, strong character guidance, and high thematic density. Her breakthrough with Erebos and numerous awards, including the German Youth Literature Prize, mark her authority in the field of contemporary literature. Canvas tackles exactly this: a highly relevant thriller about control, resistance, and the question of how much reality we still need. ([ursula-poznanski.de](https://ursula-poznanski.de/))

Those who love literature with thrills, intellectual sharpness, and atmospheric density will find in this reading an evening with a pull effect. Bayreuth experiences Ursula Poznanski as an author on par with her material: precise, contemporary, and gripping. A live visit is worthwhile, as not only is there reading, but tension is made tangible.
