“Be aware: This book could change your attitude towards death,” says presenter Bettina Böttinger about Husch Josten’s new novel The Concurrency of Things. Restaurateur Jean Tobelmann has an eccentric regular: young Sourie, who is passionately serious about exploring what most people would prefer not to talk about: the end of life. Why? Tobelmann gets to the bottom of Sourie’s story and discovers something that could not be more understandable and incomprehensible at the same time. It goes far beyond Sourie’s amour fou with their mutual friend Tessa and the bond between the two men. “Delicate and provocative” (Denis Scheck).
