Bremen book premiere with Houssein Kahin & Kornelia Wald: “The Bag”

Description

An impressive novel that leaves readers breathless. Told from multiple perspectives, it becomes clear: diversity only works together! If there is one thing that Mohammed doesn't want to do, it is to accept the integration award on behalf of his school as a so-called model student. The price is a laughing stock for him. Definitely not to be taken seriously. For this reason, Mohammed and his friends have other plans for that day. But because Mohammed left a sports bag in the auditorium, he shows up in front of the school during the award ceremony. The 17-year-old has no way of knowing that the only girl at school he thinks is great is pursuing a dark agenda. And the day that was supposed to be a celebration for the school turns into a catastrophe...

This is the winning text of the 2023 Variety Literature Prize and a brutally honest debut. From an author duo (Houssein Kahin & Kornelia Wald) who write stories that entertain without simplifying reality. Who dares to ask questions without knowing the answers. – For young people aged 12 and over.

Moderation: Annika Depping. Cooperation partner: Bremer Literaturkontor.
