»UNSER OLE« LESUNG MIT KATJA LANGE-MÜLLER

Moderation: Michael Krüger (inquired.)

"It'll all work out",
thinks Ida when she moves in with her friend Elvira. Ida, once beautiful, now old and disappointed by life, has lost her apartment. Elvira, who looks after her autistic, late-pubescent grandson Ole, needs help. A tragic event brings Ole's mother Manuela onto the scene. And so fate takes its course. In her new novel (Kiepenheuer & Witsch), Katja Lange-Müller tells of wicked mothers and unloved children, of secret longings and old lies in life with "great psychological finesse" (WDR). A "beautiful and sad, but above all heart-wrenching book" (Michael Krüger // Süddeutsche Zeitung).
