Reading announcement: "Sextextsextett"
Jürgen von der Lippe, born 1948, has spent decades as a celebrated master of comic craft - as an author, TV host, and stage performer. He lives in Berlin and has received the Bambi, the Grimme Prize, and the Goldene Kamera, among other awards. His recent books - "Beim Dehnen singe ich Balladen", "Der König der Tiere", "Nudel im Wind", and "Sex ist wie Mehl" - all spent weeks on the bestseller lists.
It's hard not to rave about my new book. Even for me.
The title alone - Sextextsextett - is a tongue-twister and an icebreaker rolled into one.
What does it promise? Everything you want and then some:
Plenty of zeitgeist - sometimes timeless, sometimes just plain witless. Answers to pressing questions: what can language do about hair loss, how do you mindfully break up with a partner, and what exactly separates Goethe's erotic poetry from that of Hermann Löns?
What does the feminist movement "Gleiche Brust für alle" actually want?
Who said: "The genitals are the true focal point of the will" - and what name might one give one's own? Schopenhauer. The quote is his, the rest is your business.
How many meanings can the sentence "I have a finger in the PO" carry?
Several texts reflect my xenologophilia - my love of foreign words, which I like to explain through jokes, such as the malapropism: the confusion of similarly sounding words.
"Yesterday afternoon I was deflowered. You mean confirmed! No, that was in the morning."
One of the most mysterious and universally applicable sentences in the book - if not in all of literature - is:
I am awake now.
That's all I want to say for the moment.
