Oliver Wnuk - Wnuk denkt laut und liest was vor

In the organizer's words:

Wnuk performs (reads/plays/narrates) from his book (published 29.01.2026) "Besser wird's nicht" (top title spring 2026 by LAPPAN Verlag, illustrated by @kriegundfreitag) and other texts. "Besser wird's nicht" is not a sigh of relief, but an invitation: it will never be better than this moment if we don't seize it. Oliver Wnuk - actor, father, hypochondriac and incorrigible pragmatist - dissects the small and large impositions of life: the EGO that always calls out "more!"; friendships that want to be carried or let go of; norms that make things tight; "being & appearing" on set and in real life; the top 5 things that people end up regretting; the art of staying quiet when everything is screaming; and the question of how to remain human in an AI future. Between an amok with fairy lights at Christmas, a breathtakingly absurd ear study and an unforgettable night in forensic medicine, a tone emerges that is both light and wise: humorous, tender, un-kitschy. Wnuk looks at things without becoming bitter and encourages us to look at ourselves in a gentle way. A book to smile at, to swallow, to read together - and to pass on. Oliver Wnuk takes an unsparingly honest and open look at himself and life and asks all the questions we all have. But he is not afraid of the answers. It's beautiful, but also light, thoughtful and very rare. - Katrin Bauerfeind Oliver Wnuk writes as he plays: dreamy and precise, helpless and powerful. He often loses and wins as a result! And always funny because it's so sad - I love it. - Annette Frier Most readers will recognize themselves in many places in what Oliver writes. The book is very personal and therefore universal - because we, whether old or young, man or woman, partnered or single, are ultimately cut from the same cloth, live in the same world and share the same fears and longings... In this sense, "Besser wird's nicht" is an instruction manual for truthfulness. - Juli Zeh in her podcast 'Noble Feathers' This content has been machine translated.
