Arno Geiger celebrates what truly matters in life
with Arno Geiger Marion Brasch
“They saw a baby goat on the side of the road, incessantly bleating and jumping around. He was so thrilled with himself that everyone had to laugh. For the first time in days, Karl saw a radiant smile on Angelita’s face. He told himself that perhaps – after everything – these are the best moments.”
The Journey to Laredo is the fantastic new novel from prize-winning author Arno Geiger (“The Old King in Exile”). Karl lives in seclusion in a remote monastery in Spain. He is sick, merely waiting for his life to end. But what remains when a person is no longer who they were for their entire life? When Karl meets 11-year-old Geronimo, he begins an enthralling journey that is as surprising as it is freeing. They depart for Laredo, embark on wild adventures and find new companions. Karl experiences all the things he never had, despite his power, fame and wealth: friendship, love, lightheartedness and the freedom of living in the moment. Host: Marion Brasch
