Alles auf eine Karte

In the organizer's words:

Benedict Wells decided to become a writer when he was still at school. After leaving school, he put all his eggs in one basket: no studies, no training, just writing for four years between 19 and 23 and only receiving rejections. The obsession paid off. Today, Benedict Wells is one of the most popular contemporary German-language authors with novels such as "Spinner", "Vom Ende der Einsamkeit" and "Hard Land".

Even the opening sentences of his novels have great emotional impact: "I have known death for a long time, but now death knows me too." ("Vom Ende der Einsamkeit") Or: "This summer I fell in love and my mother died." ("Hard Land"). At the LIT:potsdam 2024 event, Benedict Wells will read from an as yet unpublished book about writing.
