It is finally time to waste ourselves on life – with Lucy Fricke and Daniel Schreiber
Once a celebrated film director, Jakob believes he has lost everything. His career is over and his last love affair was more than 10 years ago. His hair is gray, his body frail, his mind barren of ideas. On the morning of his 50th birthday, Jakob solemnly declares there is nothing worth celebrating. But his longtime friend Ellen disagrees. She propels him on a journey through his past: Jakob reflects on his life – a life that is just beginning.
The Celebration – the mesmerizing new novel from best-selling author Lucy Fricke (“Daughters”, “Die Diplomatin”) explores loss, forgiveness and the friendships that make us who we are. It is a story of mid-life, full of deep melancholy and unflinching humor. Together with author and journalist Daniel Schreiber (“A Time of Loss”), Lucy Fricke will discuss her newest work, her writing and the chances life gives us.
