Ratta tamm - Texts on the track to university

Ulrich Land celebrates his 20th anniversary of teaching with a best-of reading - and with a good time.
What to do on the way to university, especially when it takes five or six hours every time? Write - what else? Flattened into the ICE seat, fountain pen screwed on and off you go. Ulrich Land has been teaching creative writing at Witten/Herdecke University for 20 years in the WittenLab. Studium fundamentale and ten of his novels have been written along the way. Drafts, notes, chapters. Looking out of the train window, ideas shoot through his skull, fragments of thoughts get caught, sentences cheat their way onto paper, dialogues blurt out. Ulrich Land presents a best-of selection from the books that saw the light of day on the way to university, accompanied by musical interludes. Anyone interested is cordially invited to browse through the two and a half thousand pages with Ulrich Land.
