A debut evening between Ruhr area reality and literary wit
With Angelika Christiani, an evening opens at Castle Horst that makes the closeness of everyday observations, wordplay, and autobiographical energy palpable. The reading from You and me and something in between leads directly into a book that captures a very contemporary tone with 63 short stories about women's issues, self-irony, and zest for life.

Between punchlines and precise observation
Christiani works with a form of short story that has an immediate effect: concise, sharp, entertaining, and at the same time attentive to the nuances of life. Her collection arose from a long writing journey between poetry slam, reading stage, and Ruhr area everyday life; this is precisely where the author gains her literary quality.

An evening with a personal touch
The event in the outer castle of Castle Horst combines reading atmosphere with an author encounter that remains approachable. The city of Gelsenkirchen explicitly points out that Angelika Christiani originates from Gelsenkirchen and that her book has grown from her experiences. This lends the event a special authenticity rarely felt so directly in the literary scene.

A place with cultural depth
Castle Horst is not only a historical site but also a lively cultural and community center. The district library is located in the outer castle; the setting promises an intimate, concentrated reading with a short distance between the author and the audience. The setting is suitable for literature lovers who prefer to experience linguistic artistry up close rather than from a distance.
