eat.READ.sleep live with a three-hour broadcast on NDR Kultur | NDR.de – Culture

In the spring there are so many new books on the market that it is often difficult to choose. That’s why it’s time for a special from our podcast eat.READ.sleep. For three hours Katharina, Jan and Daniël give reading tips and recommendations, they tell about personal favorite authors and literary trends. This time the focus is on Michel Houellebecq’s bestseller “Annihilation”. The book received mixed reviews from critics. How do the three hosts find the novel?

Individual reading recommendations for listeners

As in the podcast, there is of course a literary appetizer in this special – a dish that comes out of a book. The hosts test their literary knowledge in the quiz. This time the director of the Hamburg House of Literature, Rainer Moritz, is a guest.
