Hamburger Lesefrühstück mit Katrin Seddig

In the organizer's words:

HAMBURGER READING BREAKFAST: Thoughts on gyms

Katrin Seddig reads at the reading breakfast and suddenly everything becomes significant: How do trees actually die? Why are concrete flower pots and fish ponds, of all things, perhaps indispensable? And what exactly is disco club hairspray all about?

In her essays, Seddig takes the world at its word attentively, stubbornly, without any hierarchy. Love makes an appearance, of course. But so do rabbits and gyms. And can a snail be happy or unhappy? Such questions seem funny at first, then surprisingly clever, because Seddig's unagitated, inquisitive language takes us exactly where everyday life otherwise simply slips through.

A morning full of intellectual side trips, subtle humor and that special delight in thinking that is not instructive but infectious.
