Ten years ago, bestselling author David Nicholls made the world laugh and howl with “Two in One Day”. Now this spring he has published a new novel about the very first love. Meike Schnitzler, who chose “Sweet Sorrow” by the British author, finds a great book to start in BRIGITTE books – the literary podcast: boy from difficult backgrounds meets confident middle-class girl in 1997 in a Shakespeare theater project. In his fourth novel, the Nicholls turns this tight constellation into a gorgeous coming-of-age story. It tells of a time in life in which everything seems possible, in which a summer lasts forever – and the great love determines even longer.
Angela Wittmann is enthusiastic about Thomas Brussig's “The Transformed”: Fibi and Aram were puberty before they came out as raccoons after a “challenge” in the wash of a tank on the flat land. What comes next is an animal-funny and very snappy satire on human nature and the hunger of social and other media for "Racoon Content".
