This is what former Hamburg bridge commissioner Benno Romik has to ask himself when he receives a terminal diagnosis. While he struggles for composure and considers what and who is important to him in the precisely calculated time he has left, his life is upended – in fact, completely blown apart: Emerging from an explosion, injured political activist Hollie Magenta finds refuge with Romik. After the violent protests surrounding the G20 summit, she and her radicalized band of »demolition queens« set cars on fire; but it soon becomes clear that they have even bigger plans. And the closer Dr. Romik and the 21-year-old grow, the more involved he becomes. A race against time begins. In his new masterful novel All The Stars Uncounted, Mirko Bonné blows up and builds bridges across the thorny territory between generations in an intensely poetic language. »All The Stars Uncounted is the profound social novel of a great storyteller who is able to plumb the depths of human existence like few others. « Thomas Andre / HamburgerAbendblatt »Mirko Bonné has written an expert mixture of fast-paced political thriller, Hamburg gothic and existential parable.

Those who accept their invitation must sit at their assigned tables and abide by their rules. Still, they are offered a glass of bubbly now and then. Shortly after they arrive, the guests are told, without further explanation, that they may not go outside for their own safety. Unsettled by the view of dark Salzruh Forest, they are compelled into uneasy camaraderie. Beyond the woods lies an old castle, once a popular resort for the Soviet-era trade union federation and still an enticing sight for the hostel guests. Who will be the first to venture forth? The former school principle troubled by the fall of the Berlin Wall? The devoted nurse and her child, who incessantly plays ball games? The alcoholic barkeeper? The older couple that actually wanted to celebrate their golden anniversary? Or the two lovers, young and beautiful, who puzzle the other guests to no end? With her special brand of humour, award-winning author Susan Kreller condenses elements of Gothic horror to create a deeply contemplative chamber piece on entrapment and freedom, staying or leaving, rebellion or reconciliation with one’s own fate. »A must-read!
