Peter Wittkamp and Judith Poznan in conversation: Too much. Alcohol and me

Wittkamp takes an unflinching and self-deprecating look at a system of excuses, hazy days and the widespread lie we tell ourselves: as long as you can keep your daily life in order, there’s no need to change your drinking habits!

He sheds light on the dangerous double standards of middle-class drinking and shows what a year without alcohol can feel like. It is a radically honest first-person account, extremely entertaining and emotionally profound. And an eye-opening companion for anyone who actually wants to make a change.

Peter Wittkamp, born in 1981, is an author, advertiser and gag writer. To this day, his job involves writing things that, hopefully, make other people laugh. He also writes books – previously mainly funny ones, but now increasingly serious ones, which is probably down to his age.

Judith Poznan was born in Berlin-Lichtenberg in 1986. After training as a bookseller, she studied literature and journalism at the Free University of Berlin. Her debut novel, *Prima Aussicht*, was published in 2021. This was followed by *aufrappeln* in 2023.
