Taumeln (Staggering)

"Staggering" delves sensitively, fearlessly and finely observing into the lives of those who do not give up searching. There used to be hundreds of searchers, but now there is only Frank, whose broken heart nobody is allowed to know about, Inge, who drives everyone in the forest while the unpredictable lives in her own home, Amaka, who is trying to shake off a diffuse phantom pain, there are Emma, Enrico, Christina and Hartmut. And there is the sister, Luisa, who wavers between despair and anger and sadness, who, as the child who is still there, experiences her very own form of loneliness in a family that has collapsed. They all doubt and fathom, they hope and hide from each other until they can no longer do so, until they have to ask themselves what they are looking for in this forest when the possibility of finding it is so unrealistic.

Sina Scherzant, born in 1991 and raised in the Ruhr area, is a SPIEGEL bestselling author, podcaster and screenwriter. "Taumeln" is her second novel.

The reading will be hosted by author Judith Poznan.
