Sofagespräche - Isabella Caldart & Son Lewandowski
took place · 23 Sep 2026
Romanfabrik, Frankfurt, Germany
Description was written before the event
This time not on stage, but on a sofa in the middle of the audience: Isabella Caldart invites author Son Lewandowski to ROMANFABRIK for a conversation about her novel "Die Routinen" (Klett-Cotta).
The book dissects the world of competitive gymnastics - a world everyone knows is harsh, but few want to see how exploitative a system can be when it glitters so brightly on the outside. Son Lewandowski speaks about sport and politics, fragile relationships, and the limits of an aging body. Stories of famous gymnasts and the greatest abuse scandal in sports history interweave with the story of Amik.
