Worth the Hype oder Overrated? Der große Buchslam von Die Zeit

On the venue's site

At the Die Zeit book slam, journalists from the Feuilleton editorial team compete against each other and fight for their favourites with wit, passion and strong arguments.

But the final word does not belong to them. It belongs to the audience, which votes on which book wins and who presents it most convincingly on stage. An entertaining contest for everyone who loves books.

In November, they will host readings and talks about books over five evenings at the Museum Fünf Kontinente. The events accompany the Münchner Bücherschau (12–29 November 2026), which invites visitors to the Haus der Kunst to immerse themselves in the fascinating variety of books. Large and small publishers present over 20,000 titles, from exciting novels, cookbooks and travel literature to children's and young adult books, audiobooks, art books, non-fiction and specialist books on all fields of knowledge, and calendars.
