Arno Strobel Reads Happy Weekend

About this event

Arno Strobel, a writer whose psychological thrillers often start in everyday situations before sliding into claustrophobic nightmare territory, presents his latest novel "Happy Weekend". The story follows Katja and Marcel, a couple looking forward to a short break – until their luggage is stolen at a motorway rest stop. A GPS tracker hidden in the suitcase allows them to trace the thief, but instead of recovering their belongings they walk straight into a carefully laid trap. Strobel reads excerpts, talks about how the book came together, and offers the kind of tense, gripping atmosphere his readers have come to expect. The reading takes place in the intimate setting of Massif E on the Zeil. You sit close to the action, hearing the author’s voice as the story's creeping dread takes hold – all the more effective because it starts so innocently. There is also time for questions and the chance to pick up a signed copy of the book afterwards.
