Dear Friends of WoW,
Thank you: Thank you for being here today, thank you for igniting the discourse, and thank you for making WoW Gstaad Literature Festival so magical.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you all to the WoW Gstaad Winter edition 2025. Each year we grow a little bigger and become a little better known but one thing remains the same: the absolutely stellar line-up of talented authors in conversation on the World of Words stages. You’ll find all the information about them in this program along with useful information to get you through the weekend.
I and the whole WoW Gstaad team are so looking forward to this weekend of learning, thinking, sharing and, of course, eating and drinking together! I’m confident you’re going to have a great time and, if you do, then spread the word about WoW Gstaad because it’s you all, authors and audience, who will be the ones to make real our goal:
Preserving Literature, Supporting Writers,
Encouraging Readers
Sincerely Yours,
--- THOMAS D.GOMMES ---
