In 2026, the novel "Wenn ein Königreich zerfällt" was published: what gives most people a sense of security and purpose fills him with fear: human contact. He uses cynicism and drugs to keep his social anxiety at bay – and his own feelings along with it. Following his break-up with his partner, he sets off on a journey of escape. Through a long Berlin night, on to Leipzig, Saarbrücken and the town of his childhood. The portrait of a man adrift, which raises the question: what remains when we turn our backs on passion and the quest for meaning?
The Periplaneta Bar Reading (TresenLesen): There’s reading and discussion. And drinking. It’s all about literature, art and the big questions. Entertaining, sometimes controversial and unpredictable in its dynamics.
