On July 1, 2022, current Picador Guest Professor Hilary Leichter gave a reading at GfZK in Leipzig. About 40 people attended the event at which Professor Leichter read several passages from her novel Temporary. As part of the event, Leichter was in conversation with Svenja Gräfen, author of Radikale Selbstfürsorge Jetzt!, speaking about the process of revision, writing about work and its discontents, and writing as work.
