Lesung mit Gerrit Wustmann

In the organizer's words:

Author, editor and journalist Gerrit Wustmann will be presenting his short story collection "Nichts daran ist witzig", published by Sujet Verlag, at Forough Bookshop.

The reading will take place on Saturday, March 29, at 7 p.m. in the Forough Book bookstore in Cologne.

A civil servant wants to check whether a person exists - and has forms with fatal consequences in his luggage. A widower receives a visit from his dead previous tenant. A hypochondriac finds a cure for eternal health - but there's a nasty catch. A little girl has a new imaginary friend ... with murderous intentions. A man hears a mysterious knocking over and over again that slowly drives him mad. And a homicide detective gets lost in the middle of a terribly bad crime script.

Ten stories full of deep black humor, populated by desperate people, losers and other ghosts. In his first collection of stories, Gerrit Wustmann draws on all genres and turns his innermost thoughts inside out. The perfect read for long, dark winter evenings. Or for all those waiting for the train on disused lines.

The reading with Gerrit Wustmann will take place on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at 7 pm at Forough Buchhandlung, Jahnstraße 24 in Cologne. Admission is 7 euros. The event will be hosted by publisher Anahita Redisiu.

We look forward to an eerily exciting reading!
