Published by Diogenes as Spinner
Original Title:
Jesper Lier, 20, only knows one thing – he has to change his life, radically. He goes through a turbulent week and on a wild odyssey around the new Berlin. A tragicomic novel about the fear of really making the right decisions.
»I’ve always had a special relationship with Spinner. Because I was nineteen when I wrote it and so much of my genuine rage, insecurity and youthful emotions went into the book. But there were also a lot of things that bothered me about it. Stylistic issues, but also content. So it was a longcherished wish of mine to improve a few things about the story. I’ve rarely had as much fun as a writer as I did reworking this book.«
