He has achieved what most can only dream of: Joachim Meyerhoff is not only an actor who performs on the most renowned stages of German-language theater, he is also a bestselling author. After his celebrated autobiographical debut “Ten green bottles...”, Meyerhoff has published four additional books, establishing himself as an unmistakable storyteller.
Now in You Can Also Fall Upwards, he finally presents the next chapters of his incredible autobiographical novel: After suffering a stroke, the narrator decides to start all over again in Berlin. The new city wears on his nerves and he is finding his artistic work as a writer and actor increasingly difficult – and then an incident occurs at his son’s birthday party. So, in his mid-fifties, he decides to move in with his mother in the countryside. Ensconced there, he begins to write his theater novel and other stories, gradually finding his way out of the anger and anxiety that have accompanied him his whole life.
