Horst Evers & Freunde - WDR5-Leselounge

In the organizer's words:

Horst Evers and friends
Horst Evers tells feather-light stories at their best and is joined by Carina Werner, Jörg Maurer, Kai Magnus Sting and Hans Zippert.

Literature, murder and humor - these are the ingredients of Jörg Maurer's new Alpine crime thriller "Kommissar Jennerwein und der tintendunkle Verdacht". A reading circle protests with staged crimes against a minister of culture who spurns the classics - and then a murder really does take place.
Things are more relaxed with Kai Magnus Sting, who dissects the language and customs of the Ruhr region with great amusement. His new book "Das Genie steckt fest" is about the feeling of getting nowhere in life.
Ella Carina has invented a whole new genre for her new book: Feminist animal poems entitled: "The rooster explains to the hen how to lay an egg".
Finally, Hans Zippert has been taking a sharp-tongued look at everyday life and world affairs in Germany for decades. The former editor-in-chief of "Titanic" is a satirical veteran.
