In-person ticket: 12 / 8 euros / Streaming ticket: 5 euros / Streaming subscription: 50 euros

The second novel from a rising star of German-language fiction
Her debut "Die schönste Version" - a radically honest reckoning with toxic relationships and patriarchal society - established Ruth-Maria Thomas as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary German-language literature. Now comes "Die zweitgrößte Liebe" (dtv), her eagerly awaited second novel. It tells of love and its subtle gradations, of social divides that sometimes seem bridgeable and far more often feel impossibly wide. A political love story. The conversation with the author will be led by literary mediator Amelie May.
