They are as diverse as the books that are presented and the authors and artists who take their listeners into their world of literature in very different ways.
With Stefan Gliwitzki and his dog to "Ooge"
Author Stefan Gliwitzki will read from his novel "Ooge" on Friday, February 20, at 6:30 p.m. in the city library in Salzgitter-Bad.
The plot:
The small North Sea island of Ooge is invaded by tourists. The idyllic miniature world of dunes, seagulls, too many strange geese and stubborn inhabitants is bursting at the seams. Locals and tourists crowd together like sardines in a can - with plenty of potential for conflict. After all, there is neither modesty nor politeness in the behavioral repertoire of the holidaymakers, but all the more a sense of entitlement and misguided service expectations. But Ooge, the last remaining place of longing for holiday-hungry mainlanders, makes it difficult for vacationers to be liked, tolerated or even just let in. The islanders fight back with drastic and bizarre measures, inadvertently increasing the attraction of their small island in the vast sea...
A furiously funny story from the author of the novel "Quitt". Once again, Stefan Gliwitzki dissects the comedy and tragedy of life, exposes the mechanisms of our togetherness and at the same time transports his story to one of the most beautiful vacation spots in Germany: Ooge. The mixture is just right. The language is so sharp. Gliwitzki's books are comedy shows in book form!
The author:
Gliwitzki lives in a small town and had a residence on the island of Föhr. Thanks to his numerous tours as a musician, he knows almost all the German islands well and is aware of the ambivalent relationship between locals and guests. His penchant for irony is probably innate.
