BENEDICT WELLS: "DIE GESCHICHTEN IN UNS"

In the organizer's words:

About writing and about life

A book like a personal encounter. Benedict Wells talks about the fascination of writing and gives a deep insight into his life, from his childhood to his first publications. Based on his own and other works, he vividly shows how a novel is created, what makes a captivating story and how to deal with setbacks. A touching, lively and humorous book - for anyone who loves literature or wants to write it themselves.

How do you develop lifelike characters and create suspense? Why is writing the most beautiful thing in the world and at the same time often a source of despair? How do you deal with crises? Inspired by questions at readings, this very personal book about storytelling was written. Benedict Wells gives a frank and humorous account of how he came to write his novels, from his childhood and youth in various homes to his years in Berlin and his first publications. He gives specific tips and a deep insight into his own work as well as the work of other authors. A touching and life-affirming book - and an answer to the question: Why do we write, and what do we seek and find in literature?
