Jan Weiler presents his new book: On Monday, April 17th, the writer will read from the work “Elternzeit”, which was published in March, in the Volkstheater. The volume of columns tells episodic stories of the everyday challenges that a divorced father has to face when dealing with his offspring who have recently come of age. “When driving services and regular feedings are no longer necessary, a new age will dawn for the elderly,” says the blurb. Weiler’s latest work is thus in the tradition of the “Pubertier” series; it currently ranks 13th on the Spiegel bestseller list.
Weiler was born in Dusseldorf in 1967. Initially working as a copywriter and journalist, his debut novel “Maria, he doesn’t like it!” was published in 2003. “Das Pubertier” followed in 2014, the start of the now five-book series. The writer lives in Munich.
