“Das Ende ist nah” is an important novel about foreignness and being an outsider, about courage, the power of language and love. And a precious, deeply moving literary document.

During the protests in Iran in 2009, the former student A. is forced to leave his country. He takes the memories of a childhood and youth full of violence with him. An artist becomes a refugee in Austria, who is openly and secretly despised and has to endure not only loneliness and despair, but also hunger and humiliation in camps and homes. In Vienna, he meets Sarah, who falls head over heels in love with him. A., who is unable to open up, is both an object of study and support for her, although he himself is looking for support.

Amir Gudarzi tells the story of a man’s perseverance after fleeing with great literary power.

The “Literatur:Raum” series takes an in-depth look at current literary trends. Author and director Dîlan Z. Çapan invites exciting authors to talks and poetically stages new texts. Alternating between the Werkraum and the Habibi Kiosk.
