Litera­rischer Sommer: Gerbrand Bakker liest aus „Der Sohn des Friseurs“

In the organizer's words:

Simon, in his mid-forties, works as a hairdresser like his ancestors. He never got to know his father - he is said to have died in a plane crash in 1977. It is only when a customer, a writer, asks him about his father that he becomes curious and begins to investigate the story. At the same time, he meets the mute Igor during swimming lessons for teenagers - and falls in love with him...

With his usual laconicism and subtle humor, Dutch author Gerbrand Bakker tells the story of a man whose life takes unexpected turns even after 40 years.

An event organized by the Literaturbüro NRW as part of the "Literary Summer / Literaire Zomer 2024" in cooperation with the Central Library.
