Announcement of the reading "Sextextsextett"
Jürgen von der Lippe, born in 1948, has been a successful master of humorous finesse and moderator on stages and television for decades. He lives in Berlin and is, among other things, a recipient of the Bambi, the Grimme Award, and the Golden Camera. His recent books "Beim Dehnen singe ich Balladen," "Der König der Tiere," "Nudel im Wind," and "Sex ist wie Mehl" have been on the bestseller list for weeks.
It’s hard not to rave about my new book. Even for me. Just the title Sextextsextett, a tongue and icebreaker in conversation at the same time. What does it promise? Everything you want and even more: A lot of contemporary spirit that sometimes comes timelessly, sometimes thoughtlessly, answers to pressing questions such as: What does language achieve in cases of hair loss, how do you mindfully break up with a partner, what are the differences between Goethe’s erotic poetry and that of Hermann Löns? What does the feminist movement "Equal Breast for All" want? Who said: The genitals are the actual focal point of the will, and what name could one give their own? Schopenhauer. So that's where the quote comes from; the other is up to you. How many meanings can the sentence "I have a finger in the ass" have? Several texts reflect my xenologophilia, my love for foreign words, which I like to explain using jokes, such as the malapropism, the confusion of similarly sounding foreign words. "Yesterday afternoon I was deflowered. You mean confirmed! No, that was in the morning." One of the most mysterious and universally applicable sentences in the book, if not in literature, is: I am now awake. I don't want to say more at the moment.
