Sherlock Holmes im Auenland

In the organizer's words:

What happens when one of Germany's most political authors writes a fantasy novel together with his twin daughters? Marc-Uwe Kling, author of the much-loved "Kangaroo Chronicles", has taken this risk together with his daughters Luise and Johanna Kling and written "Der Spurenfinder", a novel about Sherlock Holmes in the Shire.

A certain political rebelliousness also remains inscribed in the prose of "Der Spurenfinder", for example in a mocking song about one of the potentates reigning in the world of "Der Spurenfinder": "King Fredlaff, the broad, /is constantly broke! / He has too many horses, / builds too many castles, / but he doesn't pay them, / you and I do." Marc-Uwe Kling will be talking about tax justice, genre fucking and the charm of escapism at LitPotsdam 2024.
