Buchpremiere mit Anton Artibilov ANGESPANNT VAPEN
In the organizer's words:
The most unconventional author in the German literary scene presents his first novel. The narrator in Anton Artibilov's debut novel ANGESPANNT VAPEN experiences an accidental (?) vision in the forest and then sets off in search of a vape that will turn half (sometimes even a quarter) of his life into a whole one. As he plays spikeball day after day, goes to work, loses his relatives, remembers sex and visits his good friend on the organic farm, he gets deeper and deeper into a maelstrom of events that are suspiciously connected. But are they really connected? Sometimes it just seems that way, especially when you've smoked yak.
So is this a drug novel - or a conspiracy novel? More likely a novel about perception, about the constant discussion with oneself and others and normal, everyday human life, which is always accompanied by the question: "Is it just me or is something really strange happening here?" Light-footed, entertaining and incredibly nonchalant, roaming the inner and outer boundaries of consciousness.
"Well, to be honest, he only plays spikeball at the very beginning and then never again." Anton Artibilov
