Martin Suter presents All and Everything in Düsseldorf

Literature enthusiasts can expect a special evening with one of the most successful contemporary German-language authors and his art of weaving captivating stories with surprising twists.
An evening with a master of narrative suspense
Martin Suter's novels combine precise observation, social nuances, and the dramaturgy of the crime novel. Since his breakthrough with Small World, he has shaped literature where identity crises, moral ambiguities, and unexpected perspective shifts play a central role. Works such as The Dark Side of the Moon, A Perfect Friend, The Cook, Melody, and the Allmen series demonstrate his unique ability to make complex themes accessible with great narrative clarity.
Language art between elegance and abyss
Suter's style thrives on controlled language, subtle irony, and a tension that often unfolds only in seemingly incidental details. His characters find themselves in situations where social façades become fragile and familiar certainties waver. The reading promises not only insights into the new novel but also an immediate author encounter with a writer whose literary quality arises from precision, atmospheric density, and psychological insight.
