Gerhard Henschel - Lesung und Gespräch

In the organizer's words:

After a long time, the multi-award-winning author Gerhard Henschel is coming back to Bremen - with his sharp-witted, ironic Trump diaries and exclusive insights into his new "Großstadtroman", which will be published by HoHmann und Campe later this year.

In it, the author, who is known for his brilliant observations and biting cultural criticism, provides deep insights into a writer's life between excessive demands, comedy and long nights with colleagues.
It is also the 12th volume in his autobiographical Martin Schlosser series, in which Henschel - starting with the childhood novel - delivers nothing less than an amusing cultural history of the Federal Republic of Germany from the 1960s onwards.

"Each individual volume is a time machine through which we readers are catapulted into our own memories in addition to all the reading pleasure." (NDR)

An autumnal late afternoon between political satire, fine wit and social analysis - entertaining, clever, highly topical and with an unmistakable tone.

Following the reading, Helmut Hafner and Ralf Lorenzen will talk to Henschel about his work. Further discussions will follow at the theater bar.
