Actor Felix Meusel reads from "Echtzeitalter" by Tonio Schachinger

Till Kokorda is a pupil at a traditional elite boarding school in Vienna. While his despotic class teacher obsessively tries to impart the literary canon of education using yellow Reclam booklets, Till finds refuge in the virtual world of the computer strategy game "Ages of Empires 2" and is already an online celebrity in the gaming world at the age of fifteen. In real life, however, he has to fight his way through the abysses of growing up, i.e. parent-child conflicts, friendships and first love. - "Echtzeitalter" is a 21st century coming-of-age novel for all generations. Stylistically elegant, funny, sensitive and nostalgic - awarded the German Book Prize 2023. Admission free.
