“Munk”: The new novel by Jan Weiler – Culture

James Dean was only 24 years old when he died. So significantly younger than Peter Munk, who is approaching the end of his life two days after his fifty-first birthday. On the one hand, Munk, he is the protagonist in Jan Weiler’s new novel “Munk”, could now console himself – namely with the certainty that completely different calibers died far too early: Buddy Holly at 22, Amy Winehouse at 27 and Freddie Mercury with him 45.
