In nine volumes now, Gerhard Henschel, who comes from a family who loves to write – some say “writes sick” – tells the story of the life of Martin Schlosser, a character who is not entirely dissimilar to the author.
His horror novel takes place in 1992 and 1993.
On October 28, Gerhard Henschel celebrated the premiere of the book in the Literaturhaus Hamburg.
It was moderated by Andreas Platthaus.
