Literature doesn't need a big stage. All you need is a living room, a good host and a drink that you bring yourself, and the listening can begin.

In her latest book "Man kann auch ohne Kinder keine Karriere machen", Ella Carina Werner discovers that life is becoming more and more wonderful, especially as a woman. No more school sports, hardly any more bad flirting and at some point, hallelujah, the end of the annoying bleeding in the form of the menopause. To shorten the waiting time until this celebration, satirist Ella Carina Werner bickers with her uncle about women's soccer, dances intoxicated at third weddings and finally embarks on the most daring adventure of her life: a wellness weekend with her own mother.

In his book "Auf Sendung", Marc Degens takes us on a journey through the pedestrian zone, to Niagara Falls, Disney World and Toronto - and at the same time he is always on the road to himself. Beneath the humorous surface, Marc Degens embarks on a very serious search for his homeland. It takes him through the Ruhr region to Yerevan, to a concert with Art Garfunkel and, at the end, by telephone to Pirmasens - all the scenes of a journey into and through the interior of an extremely contemporary literary existence. Adventurous, open-hearted, heavy-blooded, cheeky and sometimes screamingly funny.

The event will take place in a private living room in the Altona district. The exact address will be communicated to all ticket purchasers by email before the event.
