Author Simon Urban presents his debut novel in intimate conversation with journalist Melanie Amann. "German Glück" is a darkly comic literary reckoning that follows seven characters whose lives collide at a luxury resort in rural Germany—a fired executive reinventing himself, a TV comedian damaged by online fury, a tobacco executive, and others caught at the crossroads of personal and societal collapse. Urban's novel interrogates what it means to navigate contemporary German society with humor, desperation, and an unflinching gaze. A 90-minute literary event that captures the absurdities and struggles of modern life. Mehr erfahren
