Georg’s smartphone vibrates. A text message from his father. At that moment, on the eve of his best friend’s wedding in a grand hotel on the Croatian Riviera, the young man’s world collapses. His father didn’t send him the short message on purpose, but obviously chose the wrong recipient. Because in the text message the father actually wants to arrange to meet Lisa at the crack of dawn at Munich’s Franz Josef Strauss Airport. Is Georg’s father planning to leave the family? The novel “Trabant” by SZ-now author Stefan Sommer tells how Georg, whom everyone just calls Juri, tries everything to save his ideal mother-father-child world. In real time, the story rushes with its main character in a metallic blue Opel Corsa across the nighttime highways of Eastern Europe – and right into the primal fears of a young person. Will he arrive at the airport on time? And if so, who is waiting for him?
