  • Zoltán Ádám on Hungary After Orbán

    Zoltán Ádám on Hungary After Orbán
    2026/04/15
    Tobias Haberkorn talks to Zoltán Ádám, a political economist based in Budapest, about the landslide defeat of Viktor Orbán in Hungary's 2026 parliamentary election. They discuss what it actually means to dismantle a system Orbán spent sixteen years building, whether Peter Magyar and his Tisza party have the tools and the will to restore liberal democracy, and what Hungary's experience reveals about the fragility of democratic institutions everywhere. They also talk about the international far right's investment in Orbán, the legal gray zone of the transition period, and what Zoltán — who lost his own university position under the Orbán government — expects to change now that it's over.

    Konsumiert, nicht geschätzt — Deborah Feldman und Nora Haddada über Minderheiten und Solidarität
    2026/03/28
    Tobias Haberkorn spricht mit Deborah Feldman und Nora Haddada live vor Publikum auf der Leipziger Buchmesse über Minderheiten, Vergleiche und die Tücken der Solidarität. Noras Essay für die Berlin Review untersucht William Gardner Smiths Roman The Stone Face von 1963 — über einen schwarzen Amerikaner, der in Paris dem Rassismus zu entkommen glaubt, bis er sieht, wie die Algerier um ihn herum behandelt werden. Deborahs Essay For the Love of Jews handelt von ihren Jahren in Deutschland und der schleichenden Erkenntnis, nicht geschätzt, sondern konsumiert zu werden. Zusammen fragen sie: Was bedeutet es, wenn die Zuneigung einer Gesellschaft zu einer Minderheit eine andere verdeckt?

    Writers Read: Lianna Mark on Perfection
    2026/03/07
    In this episode of Berlin Review Audio, writer Lianna Mark reads her essay "Better Living Through Self-Curation," originally published in the winter online edition of Berlin Review. The piece responds to Vincenzo Latronico’s widely discussed novel Perfection, which was shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize after the publication of its English translation. In her essay, Mark looks beyond the polarized reactions to the novel and examines the cultural economy behind authenticity. What does it mean to perform sincerity in a literary marketplace that rewards stories that are easily packaged and exported? And how does self-curation shape not only our lives but also the narratives that circulate globally?
