Aber nichts im Vergleich zu Rentnern. In seinem neuen Buch erzählt er davon, wie er versucht, all diesen Leuten aus dem Weg zu gehen. Und wie er daran scheitert. Er berichtet von einer viel zu langen Zugfahrt nach Köln, von der Wanderung mit seinen Lesebühnen-Kollegen und erzählt vom Besuch der Leipziger Buchmesse mit seinem Freund, dem Dynamo-Ultra Enrico.
