In the organizer's words:

the only literary show that mixes fact, fiction and booze! | by Rebecca Maria Salentin

Rebecca Maria Salentin's new Leipzig literary show is finally back. After a brilliant special edition as part of the Literary Autumn 2025 with book prize winner Dorothee Elmiger, it now continues in a spectacular and boozy way.

How two people find each other is often easy to tell. But how do they part? Wir können doch Freunde bleiben (DuMont Buchverlag) by Katja Lewina brings together stories about one of the most painful experiences of our lives: the end of a love affair.

There is Annette, who found out that her boyfriend is an exhibitionist known to the police. Rayk, who now has to learn to cope with being alone after a thirty-year relationship. Or Maximilian, who married his girlfriend when their relationship was already at an end.

The authentic anecdotes told here by Katja Lewina read like a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Because break-ups are naturally a wild thing. Fortunately, however, we can learn from the mistakes of others: about our own recklessness, our behavioral patterns or even how not to run into an open knife. Because if there's one thing that unites all these stories, it's probably this: In the end, you're always glad when what shouldn't last is over
