All About Switzerland

Swiss Literature

Switzerland has a rich literary tratition in its four national languages. Switzerland is not (and was never) an ethnically and culturally homogeneous nation. It shares its three major languages with the neighbouring countries:

The fourth official language, Rumantsch (Romansh), is spoken by a minority of less than 1% of the population, but has nevertheless a tradition of more than 2000 years in southeastern Switzerland.




Solothurn Literary Workshops

Writers and poets from all language regions of Switzerland and Swiss authors living in foreign countries meet each May at the Solothurn Literary Workshop for readings and discussions.
