About a Writer: Nick Hornby. With Gerd Köster
It’s rare that an author casts such a loving glance at people’s daily misadventures and can describe the quirks of modern life with such humor and precision as Nick Hornby does. Ever since his celebrated debut Fever Pitch, which just happened to lay the foundation for the entirely new genre of fan literature, Hornby has been delighting readers around the globe. With unforgettable novels such as About A Boy, High Fidelity and A Long Way Down, he created touching characters who are works in progress, teetering between failure and hope. And as a screenwriter and playwright – most recently with the pithy play State of the Union – he proves his knack for witty and warm dialog. Hornby is an expert in the tragicomic facets of human existence. It is time to look back on and celebrate his entire oeuvre. Gerd Köster serves up samples from his books. Host: Philipp Schwenke
