„Frankie- Unter Menschen“ – Lesung & Gespräch mit Jochen Gutsch

In the organizer's words:

Volume 2 : The likeable cat Frankie returns!

Frankie basically has everything a cat needs, except for his human friend Gold, who has been in the loony bin for months. One day, Frankie gets into a garbage truck that drives off with him. Far away from his home. From everything he knows.

Frankie desperately searches for a way back. In the process, he meets a girl. She is alone, dirty and has run away from the "rabbit collection point", as she says. Thus begins a great adventure and a journey through a country where they are both strangers. Together they encounter a wide variety of characters, both human and animal. All the while, a sheriff is on the hunt for the girl.

The unforgettable story of a tender friendship. A gripping novel about what it means to lose your home. Witty, clever and deeply moving.
