Enis Maci und Pascal Richmann: Pando

In the organizer's words:

Scenic format with pictures and reading as part of the globale° festival for cross-border literature

Pando is an adventure novel: the journey goes from the Ruhr area to Los Angeles, from London Bridge to the Niger Delta, from Bolivia to Xinjiang.
Pando is also a clone colony of the American quaking aspen - the largest living creature in the world. Our heroes buy a Honda and drive there.

Enis Maci and Pascal Richmann look in different directions and write towards each other. They encounter hollowed-out landscapes, contradictory founding myths and stories that span the globe. A Mormon searches for the treasure of Moctezuma in the Utah desert. A murderous pharmacist builds a waterslide in his garden. A filmmaker chases a fugitive burglar.

Pando, meanwhile, is dying. The construction of a highway may have severed the connection, turning one living being into two.
Can we trust our memories? Why is the weather so good? And what is the risk that keeps us together?

An exciting novel about our present and the question of what it means to love each other.
