Unfounded fears (publication date: 30.01.2026)

Author reading by Res Sigusch

Christian Lotz (30) is a queer single man living in a small town in Saxony. He meets his parents for a champagne breakfast every Sunday and works at the gym during the week. Muscular and good-looking - his mother raves that he looks like David Beckham in the early 2000s - he is inwardly plagued by insecurity and basically worries about everything: How does he look to others? Why can't he find the right man? What does the future hold in times of climate change, right-wing extremism and pandemics? And isn't he perhaps already terminally ill, as his daily internet searches would have him believe? His answer is always the greatest possible catastrophe. An existential fear grows in Christian that soon knows no cause. Only when his situation becomes obvious does he open up to his surroundings - and finds out: Fear shared is fear halved. And sometimes all it takes is a spark of courage.
