Sarah Kuttner cancels all readings – "Please forgive me!"

TVS News AI, editorially supervised, presents Sarah Kuttner cancels all readings – "Please forgive me!".

The host and author Sarah Kuttner has canceled all upcoming readings of her novel tour. The reason is health problems – there will be no make-up dates. The 47-year-old addressed her audience directly on Monday in a video on Instagram.

This escalates a development that Kuttner had already made public at the beginning of October. At the time, she reported that she had gone for gynecological cancer screening – and reproduced her doctor's reaction in unusually frank words.

What is known so far about Kuttner's health

"I was at the gynecologist yesterday for cancer screening and, to put it in my gynecologist's words: shit." In that and the following week, further examinations were scheduled, she said at the time. With regard to an appearance at the Göttinger Literaturherbst, she had already canceled a single reading at that point. Now she is drawing the consequences from the overall situation and canceling her entire tour.

All readings canceled without replacement

Please forgive me!

In full, the message reads according to Zeit-Online: "Dear all! Unfortunately, I have to cancel all upcoming readings without replacement for health reasons…". Der Tagesspiegel reports that Kuttner had planned her readings in "many cities" to read from her novel.

What comes next

Kuttner has not provided any information about the exact diagnosis. What is certain is that she is initially withdrawing from public life to make room for the upcoming examinations. How things will continue with her novel tour, further readings, or appearances remains uncertain.
