Dawn

Codfish

It’s common for the author to have supper with the moderators, organizers and a few groupies after the reading – at least in Germany.
Usually you go to a restaurant where you eat pasta, pizza or a piece of codfish.
But the organizers of tonight’s reading had arranged that we could eat a delicious soup and an excellent salad in the venue where the reading took place.
This was kind of adventurous.
The organizer – a charming and soft-spoken man – seemed to be disappointed that I went to my hotel around midnight.
But I promised him: “Next time we will drink till dawn.”

Hannover ist nicht spannend, aber es ist entspannend hier zu leben. Was will man mehr?

An excellent writer will turn his depression or neuroses into a great work of art.

I've nothing against Hanover. Actually, I enjoyed the event last night.

I believe you , but I still find it rather inconsistent with the calander section where Hannover is written with double 'n'.

A mistake was made in the calender section.

Will you be going to Berlin? If so, perhaps I can finally get myself a good dinner.

till dawn
what a pity! I would have loved to be a groupie last night, but nobody invited me! (or maybe I am just too old to be a regular groupie)
I enjoyed very much listening to your reading and even more to your stories and your colourful view to the world yesterday evening. But I already find it an enormous effort to stay until midnight after this boring interviewer! She was much too tired, much too focused on her own interests and much too little attentive to the numerous offers of amazing, funny, interesting and entertaining stories you made! Nevertheless we really appreciated seeing and hearing you talk about what we call "dieses wunderbar bunte Leben". Thanks a lot!
