After the sensational debut "Hool," comes "Carnival": a song from the world of showmen and freaks. In his acclaimed debut novel "Hool," Philipp Winkler gave a voice to those who have none: Heiko Kolbe and his blood brothers, the hooligans. Now, Winkler continues this idea. His narrator conjures up a procession of dreamers and the sorrowful, the steadfast and the misunderstood: the cast of a traveling fair that roams the land. He lets them hope and despair, curse and fantasize, gossip and rave. In a completely unique, never-before-heard, singing language, Philipp Winkler provides us with a glimpse into a universe that – just like our sweetest childhood dreams – consists of Ferris wheels, cotton candy, and a bit of dirty fairy dust.
