A panic attack in the middle of a London train station, a newly married woman who is unsure whether she has made a mistake, and a protagonist who has to settle into a new life after losing her husband, daughter and mother. 




A. L. Kennedy puts her characters through a lot and is not afraid to look at where life is painful. In the thirteen stories collected in this book, she writes with so much compassion that she gives hope even to less optimistic readers.



And the well-known ironic, dry humor that we know from A. L. Kennedy is not missing in these texts. In her new book, the author proves with impressive language and depth of content how much she enjoys the dense narrative form. A.L. Kennedy talks to author and translator Lucy Jones about the art of the short story. The German text will be read by Alina Vimbai Strähler.


  • A. L. Kennedy "Everyone Rejoices"
  • A. L. Kennedy in conversation with Lucy Jones
  • The German text is read by Alina Vimbai Strähler

An event in English.
