»SCHWEBEBAHNEN« EIN ABEND MIT HANNS-JOSEF ORTHEIL

In the organizer's words:

Hanns-Josef Ortheil is one of the country's most renowned novelists, as well as a teacher, intellectual commentator and brilliant pianist. In his new book, he looks back on his childhood at the end of the 1950s: six-year-old Josef moves with his parents from Cologne to Wuppertal. He is a loner and only wants to play the piano. Writing down stories, however, gives him the strongest support. "Suspended Railways" (Luchterhand) is the story of an autistic boy who discovers his own fantasy worlds, carried by music. At the same time, a panorama unfolds of a society traumatized by war, which must slowly find its way back to life.
