Confetti Blues

  • The flair of the 2000s, a young man caught between genius, madness, and the quest for true love...
  • Funny, tragicomic, and incidentally full of wisdom, written by one of Germany’s most renowned comedians and entertainment journalists
  • Lutz van der Horst’s humor meets a queer love story with the flair of Nick Hornby – for cynics, romantics, comedians, and everyone in between

An Unsuccessful Comedian Searches for Love – The First Novel by Lutz van der Horst!

 

Max, in his late 20s and a comedy writer, sees himself at the beginning of a steep career: he is the host of his own show – at least three times. Then, he learns from a TV magazine that it has been canceled again. The handsome guy from the club, seemingly the new greatest love of his life, also doesn’t want anything to do with him anymore. And doesn’t Max actually want his ex-girlfriend back anyway? His path to the big stage and true love is paved with blunders, awkward silences after jokes, heartbreak, and disappointments – and the question of whether there can be a happy ending for Max or if his life will remain the unfunniest show in the world forever.

 

»We should all read more. This statement now applies twice: once in general, and once specifically to what Lutz van der Horst writes for us.« Hazel Brugger

 

»Melancholic, honest, emotional, and above all extremely funny, in complete sentences and with all the letters of the alphabet! For me, a perfect book!« Oliver Kalkofe
