Christian Kracht – Air
with Christian Kracht
Diese Lesung findet ohne Moderation statt.
In the small seaport of Stromness on the Orkney Islands, high in the cold European north, lives Paul, a Swiss decorator and interior designer. Paul does the slightly peculiar job of home staging. He temporarily furnishes empty properties across Europe in such a way that potential buyers immediately see themselves living a life of beauty and meaning in them. When he receives an obscure yet lucrative job offer from a Norwegian design magazine, he sets off on a journey that takes him to his limits and far beyond.
Christian Kracht’s unsettling travel novel, Air, from the mind of a radical romantic, tells a fascinating tale and catapults us out of a present that is perhaps nothing but a dream, out of our late modernistic, nearly drained civilization into a glistening, reflective landscape of literature. Our life: a dream.
