Der Einfluss der Fasane

Reading and talk
with Antje Rávik Strubel
Moderation: Insa Wilke

She received the German Book Prize for "Die Blaue Frau", and now Antje Rávik Strubel is presenting her new novel "Der Einfluss der Fasane". Hella Karl, features editor of a major newspaper, is not easily flustered and believes she has everything under control. But she has written a momentous article about the star of the Berlin theater scene and celebrated man of the cultural world who has taken his own life. Did he fail himself or did Hella Karl write him to his death? "Der Einfluss der Fasane" tells the story of what it means when the dynamics of excitement in our society can no longer be controlled. An almost light-footed novel about serious accusations, the struggle for words and the mischief of media discourse.
