»Trost« Lesung mit Angelika Klüssendorf

A wasp sting. A coma. And suddenly, nothing is the way it was. In *Trost* (Piper Verlag), Angelika Klüssendorf tells the story of Rita, Jane, and Joachim—three people whose lives are thrown off balance in 2022. Her acclaimed trilogy—*Das Mädchen*, *April*, and *Jahre später*—already revolved around people whose certainties begin to waver. And in her new novel, the Marieluise Kaschnitz Prize winner asks what sustains us when nothing can be taken for granted anymore. With defiance and subtle humor, she explores the fractures of life.

“A great novel about contemporary Germany and the German mindset.”
