This debut will leave no-one untouched. Angrily, unsparingly, but not without love, Necati Öziri tells one family’s story. He tells of an absent father and a son, mother and sister whose lives and bodies are shaped by social and political conditions. A novel, “unashamedly well written, painful and heart rending” (SWR 2). “Without doubt one of the best books this autumn.” (SRF 2)

The VorLaut-Readings offer young authors a stage on which to read their texts in front of established authors, in a way similar to supporting acts in music.
