An evening between pop, memory, and literary transformation
Frank Schätzing presents his new book Spaceboy. About David Bowie. About me. at the Literature Festival Potsdam, opening an evening that combines reading, conversation, and cultural self-reflection.

A book about David Bowie, but also about one's own path
Spaceboy is more than a tribute to the artist. Schätzing merges the fascination with David Bowie with an autobiographical journey through his own development as an author, musician, artist, and performer. Thus, the evening promises not only literary quality but also a rich reading atmosphere where pop history and personal memory intertwine. ([helden-roman.de](https://www.helden-roman.de/autor))
