A Novel from the World of the Lehmann Brothers

The new novel tells the story of Frankie and Freddie Lehmann, two brothers from Bremen, who seek different paths in West Berlin in 1980. While one establishes himself in Kreuzberg, the other struggles with fear, the subway, and a lost bag. This is exactly where the text derives its tension: from movement and stillness, from brotherhood and distance, from art, and from everyday life shaping a literary state of exception.

Sven Regener as a Voice of Contemporary Literature

Regener is one of the defining narrators of contemporary German literature. He first became known as a musician of Element of Crime, later with novels like Mr. Lehmann, New Vahr South, The Little Brother, Magical Mystery, Wiener Straße, and Glitterschnitter. His books combine witty dialogue, sharp social insights, and a precise sense of lostness. Awards such as the Carl Zuckmayer Medal, the German Audiobook Prize, and the Longlist nomination for the German Book Prize underscore his literary authority.
