Auf der Suppe ruht das Weltgebäude – Geschmackloses aus der Literaturgeschichte mit Samuel Finzi, Nina Kunzendorf und Jakob Hein

In the organizer's words:

When eating and drinking in literature, table manners are usually lost. Because between pea soup, knife benches and the fifth wine on the plane, we reveal who we really are: not the finest animal on God's earth, but munching, bawling and conniving. Here, the dining table becomes a place of catastrophe, the cooking island a tool of murder, and the wine list leads to adultery. What do you need if the guests are still not in a chatty mood after three drinks? How much mustard can one person eat? And how do you behave if you suddenly find yourself drinking coffee with a dictator? Answers are provided by Oskar Maria Graf, Doris Dörrie and Thomas Bernhard, among others.
Nina Kunzendorf and Samuel Finzi join psychotherapist and author Jakob Hein for a visit to the tables of literature, where sausages are sung about, bowel movements are counted and food trends are lamented - but never just eaten. Concept: Felix Lindner
