DIE LAGE – Lesung und Gespräch mit Mesut Bayraktar

In the organizer's words:

What does it mean when the employment office threatens sanctions? When colleagues are called to the HR office and they don't come back? When you are persecuted by male violence? When hate beats up your first love?

The author Mesut Bayraktar tells the stories of people who rarely appear in literature. He describes silent and loud anger with poetic power and an unvarnished sense of reality. The book "Die Lage", published in June 2024, confronts literature and language with noise, work, confinement, longing - with lonely bodies and their resistance. A cycle of stories about encounters, conflict and desire.

The event will be held in German at Zwischenraum.
