Ninia stellt vor.. Kathrin Weßling

In the organizer's words:

In 2025, presenter Ninia LaGrande presents a new edition of her successful literary series "Ninia presents..." with the Pavilion. On six unique evenings, she invites authors to present their works from the fields of fiction, journalism, poetry and pop culture. The presenter will provide special insights into the authors' works and backgrounds during and after each reading in an in-depth discussion. Kathrin Weßling will read from "Sonnenhang", a novel about a woman in her late thirties' search for the meaning of life and the great happiness of intergenerational friendships: Kathrin Weßling writes sincerely and uncompromisingly about not being young anymore, shattered life dreams and how sometimes you find friendship in the most unusual places. While her friends are having children and Instagram seems to be one big happy-wife-happy-life show, Katharina sits in her apartment and numbs herself with work and trash TV. In her late thirties, she has come to terms with this rather uneventful life in which anything is still possible. At least that's what she thinks until she finds out that she can no longer have children. Suddenly the nights in pubs and the days at her desk just feel pointless. Then she takes on a voluntary position at the Sonnenhang retirement home. Weekends now consist of smuggling eggnog, puzzles and bizarre, amiable encounters. When the next big decision comes up, Katharina has to ask herself what she actually wants. And whether she hasn't already found what she's so desperately looking for.
