Schnaff Week: Volker Kutscher – Literatur trifft Klang

In the organizer's words:

With musical accompaniment by: Julian Wasserfuhr - trumpet, Roman Wasserfuhr - piano, Jörg Brinkmann - cello

Volker Kutscher, born in 1962, studied German, philosophy and history and worked as a daily newspaper editor and screenwriter before writing his first crime novel. He lives as a freelance author in Cologne and Berlin. His novel "Der nasse Fisch" (2007; tr: The Wet Fish), the first in his crime series about detective Gereon Rath in Berlin in the 1930s, was an instant bestseller and has been followed by eight more to date. The series is the template for the international television production "Babylon Berlin", the first three seasons of which were shown on Sky and ARD. The fourth season will follow in spring 2023 on ARD. OLYMPIA, the eighth volume in the series, has sold well over 150,000 copies. The stories "Moabit" and "Mitte", illustrated by Kat Menschik and set in the Rath universe, were also bestsellers.

On the evenings of the special week, the brothers will not only be celebrating the release of their new album, including with special guests, but will also be presenting a brand new type of beer: "TAKE5". You can sample the beer exclusively during the events at King Georg.
