Die Tage, die ich mit Gott verbrachte

In the organizer's words:

To call him a bestselling author would be a gross understatement. Although he is one of the best-known and most amusing German-language columnists, with books such as "Der kleine Erziehungsberater", "Die Wumbaba-Trilogie", "Aua!" or currently "Über die Heiterkeit in schwierigen Zeiten und die Frage, wie wichtig uns der Ernst des Lebens sollte sein", he has sold millions of copies - in truth, however, he is much more than just a successful author. Axel Hacke is a grand master of quiet observation.

He prefers to devote himself to ordinary events that are not really worth mentioning. True to the motto of the great journalist Egon Erwin Kisch, "Nothing is more exciting than the truth", he knows how to perceive self-evident events and describe them as what they are on closer inspection: small sensations of everyday life. In this way, this encounter with God - which is actually hardly worth mentioning - develops into an entertaining parade ride through all the possibilities and impossibilities of life. Delicately and powerfully, Axel Hacke describes an everyday experience that could happen to us all. We are sitting in the park and suddenly God comes strolling past. He sits down next to us and we strike up a conversation. We talk about this and that, about the weather, about raspberries and bottle banks, about God and the world. The story could end here - if it hadn't been written by Axel Hacke. Because as if by chance - no wonder with Hacke - a small office elephant, a smoking snake, people in drawers, an oversized wasp and a beautiful butterfly, to name but a few, appear. In this way, we learn rather casually what holds the world together at its core ("Das Große Egal"), that God likes to drink champagne and that God's attempt to make a world consisting only of twenty-three-year-old secretaries failed.

In the end, all the important questions about the meaning, purpose and entertainment value of our existence are largely answered. Except for one: can a vegetarian feel sausagey?
