Interview: Garth Greenwell

INTERVIEW! Garth Greenwell's new novel "Small Rain" (German translation: "Kleiner Regen") tells the story of a man who is hospitalized with a severe illness: While COVID is raging, he lies in the ICU and ponders what his life has amounted to. Was it the right decision to dedicate himself to literature? How has his life changed over the last years, when he ceased adventuring in Eastern Europe in favor of living with a poet in Iowa? And is kindness an effective weapon in Trump's America? Once more, Garth Greenwell dives into examining human consciousness in a body under pressure, and we are very happy to welcome one of America's finest authors on our show - for the second time!
