Lit Lab: Eva Rottmann and Bea Davies - youth book and comic reading, moderated by young people (aged 14 and over)
Saturday, 27/09/2025 / 06:00 PM / House of Literature Freiburg
Favorite books of the future, selected and invited by the Lit Lab team. Short readings and interviews between fairy lights, cushions and canvas.
18:00 "Kurz vor dem Rand" (Jacoby & Stuart, 2023) captures Ari's attitude to life pretty well. Unadorned and direct, Eva Rottmann tells the story of Ari's everyday life between a high-rise housing estate and a skate park, her clique, family and confusing feelings.
19:30 "Super-GAU" (Carlsen, 2025) is a cleverly interwoven comic story about eight people in Japan and Berlin who are connected in a surprising way by the 2011 Fukushima disaster. Artist Bea Davies sensitively shows how world events and personal destinies intertwine and how disasters affect and shape us.
