»Die dünnen Götter« – Aris Fioretos on an aging musician caught between bravado and a longing for love

Ache Middler, a rock musician in his sixties, lives reclusively in Berlin when he receives a letter from a dying woman. Years ago, they spent a night together. Now she asks him to tell their shared daughter his story. Ache looks back: on his childhood in Delaware and his alcoholic mother, on the rise in the glamorously torn New York of the 1970s, on the eternal money troubles – and on the three women who shaped him. Over decades, »Die dünnen Götter« traces the contrasts of a life: between daring masculinity and vulnerability, between independence and love. A novel that pulsates with the intoxication of the underground, electrifying and casually melancholic at the same time.

The event will be moderated by Karin Hoff (CAU Kiel).

Aris Fioretos, born in 1960 in Gothenburg, is a Swedish writer of Greek-Austrian descent. He has received numerous awards for his translations – including works by Paul Auster, Vladimir Nabokov, and Jan Wagner into Swedish – as well as for his own work; in spring 2024, he will hold the poetic lectures in Frankfurt am Main. The author lives in Berlin and Stockholm.

Friedberg lässt lesen: Jan Weiler

Successfully and alone – this is how architect Peter Munk finds himself at 51 years old. Or rather, lying there, having suffered a heart attack on the escalator on the third floor of a department store. He survives, but there is no one he wants to notify from the hospital. In rehabilitation, his therapist tasks him with starting his self-exploration with the people who made him the man he is. And so, for the first time, Peter Munk looks back at the thirteen women of his life and the lessons he learned from each of them. With a surprising outcome.

Jan Weiler, born in 1967 in Düsseldorf, is a journalist and writer. He was chief editor of the SZ Magazine for many years. His first book "Maria, ihm schmeckt’s nicht!" is considered one of the most successful debuts of the last decades. This was followed by many more books such as "Das Pubertier" and "Die Ältern". In addition to his novels, Jan Weiler also writes columns, screenplays, radio plays, and audiobooks, which he also narrates himself. He lives in Munich and Umbria.

Lesung | Sandro Mattioli | Germafia | Moderation Jonas Bleeser

Has Deutsche Bank made billion-dollar deals with Italian mafiosi? Does a major football Bundesliga club employ a man who is said to be part of a Calabrian clan and give this man access to players and top managers? And why is the German state not doing more against the presence of ´ndrangheta and Co in Germany? In his brave and entertaining book, the author Sandro Mattioli tells of exclusive investigations and suppressed inquiries, revealing many previously unknown mafia activities in Germany. The book, titled "Germafia," has become a Spiegel bestseller.

The author Mattioli hails from Heilbronn and has been researching the opaque world of the mafia for over 15 years. During this time, he has met mafia defectors, relatives of victims, as well as many prosecutors and investigators in Germany and Italy. He is also the chairman of the Berlin association Mafianeindanke and is politically engaged in this role against the power of the clans. Sandro Mattioli is the leading mafia expert in Germany and a sought-after contact for politics, media, and those affected. He has revealed several investigation procedures and repeatedly pointed out deficiencies in the prosecution of mafia activities. The media reported on his revelations, his articles led to government inquiries, and an investigation culminated in the successful novel "Die Spielerin" by Isabelle Lehn. Mattioli's book Germafia, published in May 2024, became a Spiegel bestseller. The author lives in Berlin and is the chairman of mafianeindanke e.V. The association has achieved significant successes in the fight against organized crime through political means. Mattioli studied General Rhetoric, History, and Empirical Cultural Studies in Tübingen.

Lisa Federle & Bernd Kohlhepp - Das Lese-Erlebnis

Dr. Lisa Federle gives insight into her experiences as a general practitioner and emergency doctor. These are touching stories brought to life by cabaret artist Bernd Kohlhepp. When she performs, her authenticity inspires trust, her selflessness is impressive, and her energy and willpower are contagious. Unsentimental and straightforward, Dr. Lisa Federle touches the soul of thousands of readers with her autobiography "Auf krummen Wegen geradeaus. Was mich bewegt und antreibt" (SPIEGEL Bestseller, 2022).

Lisa Federle made international headlines with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic as the initiator of the "Tübingen Testing Strategy," which allowed for shopping in the city center while lockdowns were imposed elsewhere. In 2020, Dr. Lisa Federle received the Federal Cross of Merit, also for her commitment to refugees from Syria.

In her second book "Vom Glück des Zuhörens" (2023), Lisa Federle describes moving stories from her profession as a general practitioner and emergency doctor. She listens to understand those words that are left unspoken and to see things that the other person may not want to perceive. The focus is on pressing topics such as depression, dementia, old-age poverty, and life plans that do not conform to the ordinary. Lisa Federle does not judge but reflects against the backdrop of her own "crooked" and challenging life path.

With cabaret artist BERND KOHLHEPP, we are taken to dramatic situations at accident scenes, life-changing events in the doctor's office, grotesque self-deception, confusing romantic entanglements, or eccentric sham marriages. With his unmistakable style, Bernd Kohlhepp makes this reading varied, starts some chatter, but also encourages reflection. One can look forward to getting to know a very personal Lisa Federle, who expresses her opinions spontaneously and candidly and responds to audience questions.

A highly entertaining and also delightful reading experience, where everyone can feel a great piece of the joy of listening within themselves.

Lesung "Grenzfall - Ihre Spur in den Flammen"

In the Karwendel, the traditional solstice fires burn on the mountains at the end of June, meant to protect against misfortune. But this year, the flames do not stop at the valleys. Near Bad Tölz, a vehicle has gone off the road and completely burned down – arson with deadly consequences.

Before Chief Commissioner Alexa Jahn can clarify the exact circumstances, further deadly arson attacks occur, even on the Austrian side. Together with Chief Inspector Bernhard Krammer, Alexa tries to make sense of the actions. Who is starting these fires? What is this about? And why was a bundle of herbs found at one of the crime scenes, which, according to popular belief, is supposed to ward off evil?

Alexa and Krammer know that time is working against them, and an anonymous letter brings their worst fears to life.

EMIRSIAN - My Armenian Songbook - A Personal Journey with Friends by Aren Emirze

Being at peace with oneself is not always easy. You can know who you are, and you can know where you come from. Merging both is the art. Aren Emirze, the musician, the Armenian, the German – in search of his Armenian roots, he encounters great songwriting. From stylistic elements of Armenian folklore, quiet, melancholic, and fragile songs evolve, floating between worlds and genres. On this evening in the Frankfurt Brotfabrik, under the motto *Armenian Songbook*, old Armenian lyrics merge with new compositions, and traditional Armenian songs will shine in a new light.

Together with his daughter Veron and guitarist Rolf Bussalb, Aren Emirze embarks on a musical journey that tells of his roots – from Armenia to Germany, from the past to the present. Friends and companions will accompany this evening and bring the music of Armenia to life with us.

A special highlight of the evening will be the live presentation of songs from Aren Emirze's current album LEZOON, which will harmoniously fit into the program and illustrate the variety of his musical journey.

Gisa Pauly, Lesung "La Paloma"

Look forward to exciting insights into the investigations of Mama Carlotta, who uses her sharp mind and unconventional charm to solve a mysterious murder case.

Mama Carlotta is once again staying with her son-in-law Erik and the grandchildren in Sylt – but there is no talk of relaxation. First, she must support Erik with Nordic walking so that he doesn't lose his sporting motivation, and then there is new excitement: former Sylt operetta singer Lydia Warenholz has returned after many years to give her career a new boost. But the day after her big concert, she is found dead as a mouse! Furthermore, there is thick tension in Mama Carlotta's regular pub since a chic new restaurant opened next door. Mama Carlotta also drifts away due to the bad atmosphere. Or is it perhaps more because a very charming Italian is courting her there?
