Debüts & Drinks

In the organizer's words:

Two remarkable debuts of the season brought into conversation in a cozy atmosphere - that's the simple principle of the "Debuts & Drinks" series of the Literaturhaus Hamburg, which takes place regularly in the Aalhaus.

This time we're talking to Kathrin Bach and Charlotte Brandi about the emotional challenges of growing up - about fears, anger and belonging. Can a life be insured? And can insurance alleviate the fear of the unpredictable?

Kathrin Bach's protagonist comes from a dynasty of insurance brokers and is confronted with life's catastrophes at the dinner table at home at an early age. In "Life Insurance", she finds her very own way of dealing with her family history.

Ella, the teenage protagonist in Charlotte Brandis' "Fish Days", has many reasons to be angry: Absent parents, no friends and annoying therapy sessions. She regularly has fits of rage - and then her little brother disappears.
