Chris Kramer spricht mit Frank Goosen über "Das Leben fing im Sommer an"

In the organizer's words:

The soccer world champion comes to Gladbeck with his debut novel and brings Frank Goosen with him!

The warmest summer ever, the first great love, a night that changes everything. Christoph Kramer's novel is a personal and touching story about being fifteen and a snapshot of a time when everything seemed so simple. It is told with a lot of heart and an incredible feeling for the little things that simply mean everything in life.

It's the summer of 2006, one heat record follows the next, the World Cup is changing the country - and for 15-year-old Chris, his whole life is changing. He spends his evenings with his friends on the roof of the old barn and sleeps off the hot days in the outdoor pool. He wants to become a professional footballer, but above all he wants one thing: to finally be cool. Chris is a teenager like any other, searching for himself. Then the unbelievable happens. Debbie, the most beautiful girl at school, is interested in him of all people. An emotional rollercoaster ride begins, in which Chris dares everything and yet never forgets what is really important: friendship and the certainty of having really lived. A night-time road trip with his best friend is a good start ...

Christoph Kramer's coming-of-age novel catapults us back to a time in life when everything seemed possible and when the greatest happiness and the greatest despair were very close together. A wonderfully melancholy homage to the magic of all beginnings, the magic of first love and, last but not least, friendship - the story of a summer you will never forget.

The interview with soccer world champion/TV presenter/author Chris Kramer is conducted by soccer fan/cabaret artist/author Frank Goosen.
