A literary evening full of tension, memory, and new closeness
With Annika Büsing: Magical, a quiet yet highly charged narrative space opens in the Central Library of Duisburg. The reading takes you right into a summer on the edge of the Ruhr area, where Marie and Magical meet again after fifteen years. Through the first look, history is made once more, and from the history an evening unfolds about love, family, and the fragile lines of life.

Between first love and second truth
Annika Büsing tells in Magical of a meeting that seemed long past and yet never entirely disappeared. The novel relies on fine psychological tension: a peculiar village community, a threatened reunion, a brother in the party, and the question of the firewall within one’s own family. This constellation carries the reading far beyond mere material presentation and gives it the tone of a contemporary, socially aware literature.

Annika Büsing as a precise observer
The author was born in 1981, lives with her family in Bochum, and teaches at a high school. She received several awards for Nordstadt, and both of her previous novels have been adapted for the stage. This speaks to a writer who does not merely describe characters but gives them dramatic presence. Precisely for this reason, the reading in Duisburg unfolds that special theater atmosphere, in which literature becomes almost physically palpable.

An evening in the city window
The Central Library in the city window provides the perfect setting: light-flooded floors, a modern quality of stay, and a place that visibly brings education and culture together. Those who experience a reading here encounter not just a book but a carefully composed stage experience between concentration, closeness, and muted anticipation.
