Buchpremiere GAVDOS mit Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus

Join us in celebrating the book launch of *GAVDOS*, the second novel by Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus. Featuring music by Fabian Saul.

What if a group of scientists were convinced they had conquered death? And what if a journalistic investigation turned into a journey to the edge of reality?

With *Gavdos*, Tomer Dotan-Dreyfus presents his new novel—clever, funny, and full of surprising encounters. On a remote Greek island, a journalist stumbles upon a mysterious commune, a mysterious opera singer, an Orthodox priest, a German avant-garde poet, enlightened dropouts, and a great many goats. The longer he stays, the more the boundaries between reporting, myth, and fantasy blur.

Following his debut novel *Birobidzhan*, which was nominated for the German Book Prize, Dotan-Dreyfus once again invites readers into a literary universe that blends philosophical questions with wit, narrative ease, and a great love of digression. At the book launch, the author will read from *Gavdos* and speak about writing, immortality, community, and the art of losing oneself in stories.

Featuring “Lila Eier,” a reading, a discussion, and music by Fabian Saul. Moderator: Lara Sielmann
