Having read almost all novels by Nick Hornby I was more than delighted to learn that there’s gonna be a live reading of his new book Slam at Admiralspalast. I was even more excited when I heard that rising German actor Matthias Schweighoefer will read the book together with Hornby himself. In the last few years I have been constantly running into Schweighoefer in the neighborhood or at Ikea, which is something I cannot say about any other celebrity. You on the other hand might know him from films such as Soloalbum, Kammerflimmern, Das Wilde Leben or Keinohrhasen. Two of his bigger movies are still in post production: Valkyrie with Tom Cruise and The Red Baron. More infos and photos of Matthias after the jump.
The reading is on March 8th at 21h at Admiralspalast Studio in Friedrichstr. 101 and costs 17 EUR. You can get the English version of Nick Hornby’s Slam by clicking on the cover below.
