New language, new country, new school: Jean has fled to England from the Congo with his parents and little sister and tries to make friends in his new class - by fighting and stealing, among other things. It's enough to make friends, but not enough to stay at school: he is expelled. They don't want their parents to find out, they have their own worries anyway: first and foremost the question of whether they can stay in England and whether they have enough money to live (or survive). In his debut No Place to Call Home, which was originally published in 2017, JJ Bola explores questions of belonging, identity and immigration. Salon host Lida Shams-Mostofi talks to the bestselling author of Sei kein Mann about how to put down roots in another culture without losing your own. The German passages will be read by Tom Scherer from Schauspiel Hannover.
