Broder

Father, son, and the sacred farm - it has always been this way. The others, the ones left behind, the second, third, fourth sons and daughters don't count. Yet they remain part of the herd.

Broder (Penguin 2026) is Dörte Hansen's fourth major novel, named after the son who does not inherit the farm. His twin brother Henning, four minutes older, takes over and optimizes everything for maximum efficiency - and stumbles. Is this Broder's chance?

Dörte Hansen presents the novel in Göttingen and challenges the eternal belief in growth. At its heart lies an urgent question about our responsibility to creation.
