Martin Suter & Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre - Kein Grund, gleich so rumzuschreien
They're back! The circumstances of life are serious, but the authors are not. "Kein Grund, gleich so rumzuschreien" ("No Reason to Yell Like That"), the new collection of conversations by Martin Suter and Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre, will be released at the end of October by Diogenes Verlag and can be experienced live only on a few of the major stages in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria starting from December 14th.
"Fast, clever, and incredibly funny, like having dinner with Thomas Bernhard, Ricky Gervais, and the Rolling Stones."
Ferdinand von Schirach
The rare joint appearances of these two bestselling authors are not only exclusive rarities due to their limited number of dates - the way they present, a show staged with ingeniously unpredictable spontaneity, turns the text into something completely different.
Live performances by Martin Suter and Benjamin von Stuckrad-Barre always bring surprises. In Berlin, for example, there was the unexpected appearance of the wonderful Danger Dan, in Hamburg Linda Zervakis and Caren Miosga read a chapter from the previous volume "Alle sind so ernst geworden," and in Cologne, Suter and Stuckrad-Barre entertained the excited audience with Karl Lauterbach and Tommi Schmitt. The Rolling Stone magazine celebrated the seemingly mismatched pair for their appearances as "literary rockstars."
"It's as if the two were looking into the abyss for a brief moment and then together built a gently swaying chat bridge, hoping it will hold."
Volker Weidermann / Der Spiegel, Hamburg
"The two celebrate a friendship in which each brings out the best side of the other."
Nora Zukker / Tages-Anzeiger, Zurich
