Dominik Bollow, born in 1984 in Saarbrücken, lives in Berlin. He works as an editor, in corporate communications, and as a freelance author. His publications include short stories as well as portraits, travel reports, and a children's book.
For his debut novel »The Caprices of the Goat«, he received the Ludwig Harig Scholarship in 2020. He will read from this novel, which was published by St. Ingbert's Conte-Verlag: It is the year 1956, and the Saarland's accession to the Federal Republic of Germany is imminent. Robert's father decides to follow his French superior to a zinc mine in Algeria. There, he thinks he "can still become something." Soon, the family sets off in their fully loaded Peugeot for the Moroccan border town of Bou Beker. Here, French, Spanish, Canadian, and German people live together in specially built bungalows, forming an unusual community with the locals living in the nearby Medina.
Admission is free.
