Ralf Rothmann - Theory of Rain
Die Veranstaltung wurde vom Salzlager in Halle 6 verlegt!
“On the highway overpasses of my youth, at the edge of the town, drunk on yearning, I always felt left behind – while below me everyone was speeding off into the distance”, wrote author Ralf Rothmann, a native of Oberhausen, in one of his early notes. His collection of notes entitled Theory of Rain is a “treasure trove; a book you could open on a random page and reliably find a surprising observation or an interesting episode” (Deutschlandfunk Kultur). It contains personal and lyrical memories and snapshots of the author’s life; tiny, clever miniatures that make up a poetic and essay-style journal. With Jens Dirksen (WAZ Kultur), Ralf Rothmann discusses this exceptional work, how one can come to grips with the impositions of the outside world and the much-too-quick passage of time.
