Daniel Hyan, author and filmmaker from Berlin
How is a novel created? How does a bestselling author work? What goes through readers’ minds? And why do people still do it—that is, write novels and publish books?

The organizers will read their own texts on self-understanding and worldviews and have invited someone with whom they (perhaps) want to collaborate:
Daniel Hyan is an author and director, hails from a family of artists in Berlin, and yet has become neither a politician, a lawyer, nor a civil servant. Which in itself is remarkable, were it not for a manuscript they’ve reviewed. It deals, among other things, with father, mother, child, and the housing crisis in big cities, though despite all the social and systemic criticism, the tone remains humorous yet substantial and unusually satirically lighthearted.
The Periplaneta Bar Reading: There’s reading and talking. And drinking. It’s about literature, art, and the big questions. Entertaining, sometimes controversial, and unpredictable in its dynamics.
