Bremen book premiere with Houssein Kahin & Kornelia Wald: »The Bag«

Description

An impressive novel that leaves readers breathless. Told from multiple perspectives, it makes one thing clear: diversity only works together! If there's one thing Mohammed doesn't want to do, it's accept the integration award on behalf of his school as a so-called model student. He considers the award a joke, definitely not to be taken seriously. For this reason, Mohammed and his friends have other plans for the day. But because Mohammed left a sports bag in the school's main hall, he turns up outside the school during the ceremony. The 17-year-old has no idea that the only girl at school he finds attractive is pursuing a dark agenda. And the day, which should have been a celebration for the school, turns into a catastrophe…

This is the winning entry of the 2023 Vielfalter Literature Prize and a ruthlessly honest debut. From a writing duo (Houssein Kahin & Kornelia Wald) who write stories that entertain without oversimplifying reality. Stories that dare to ask questions without knowing the answers. – For young people aged 12 and up.

Moderation: Annika Depping. Cooperation partner: Bremer Literaturkontor.
