Die Welt im Rücken

June 20, 2026, 7:30 PM

Life as intoxication, as a party, as a superstar with flights of fancy, fantasies of omnipotence and a fall into a bottomless pit, into silence, emptiness and nothingness ... Then, very slowly, a quiet, tentative new beginning.
Thomas Melle describes the chronicle of a bipolar disorder, the captivating and breathtaking manifesto of a writing self. His novel is a literary force: poetic, highly comic, dramatic, precise.
