MEDIO2: Literature on Sunday

THOMAS ARZT reads from his latest novel "Das Unbehagen".

The teacher Lorenz Urbach is increasingly afflicted by a diffuse unease, a political dissatisfaction, an excessive demand, a weariness. Suddenly an unknown aggression bursts out of him, he gets into a fight and loses the ground beneath his feet. When reports emerge of a bloodthirsty animal that seems to be wreaking havoc in the Alps, Lorenz is reminded of old memories.

The media speculate - is it a wolf? Or perhaps a human after all - and Lorenz thinks of his childhood friend Theresa, the outsider, the dropout, the one who was always ready for violence ... He sets off on a lonely hike into the mountains, exposing himself to the forces of nature - in search of the "monster" out there and the source of the violence within.
