Buchvorstellung „Die Enthusiasten“

In the organizer's words:

German premiere of the new novel by Markus Orths

A narrative firework display about a rather special family, where book plateaus hang from the ceiling and stories come to life. And about three siblings united by a deep love and a great loss.

What do an obsessed Laurence Sterne fan on an adventurous hunt for the supposed tenth volume of Tristram Shandy, a particle researcher who spends years shielded by kilometer-thick rock faces trying to eavesdrop on dark matter particles, a cinema enthusiast who concocts wacky experimental films, a small northern English town and a sensational find have in common? They feature in The Enthusiasts , probably the most turbulent and daring novel in a long time, which explores the boundaries of what storytelling can be and what man-made art is in breakneck fashion.
