Wnuk denkt laut und liest was vor - Eine autobiographisch eingetunkte Lese-Show
Wnuk thinks out loud and reads aloud
–an autobiographically soaked reading show
Oliver Wnuk is always in search of happiness:
Where is it, when is it, why, and how much does he get of it?
From the collaboration with, among others, the Frankfurter Rundschau (FR7), have emerged partially contemplative, partially amusing columns with depth, which have been summarized in the essay collection "Besser wird's nicht", published on February 26 at Lappan-Verlag, from which he will read/tell/play, in short: act.
"Besser wird's nicht" is not a sigh of resignation but an invitation: better than this moment will never be if we don't seize it. Oliver Wnuk – actor, father, hypochondriac, and incorrigible pragmatist – dissects the small and large challenges of life: the EGO that always calls for "more!"; friendships that are enduring or want to be let go; norms that constrict; "Being & Appearance" on set and in real life; the top 5 things people regret in the end; the art of staying quiet when everything screams; and the question of how to remain human in a KIFuture. Amidst Christmas light chain madness, a breathtakingly absurd ear study, and an unforgettable night in forensic medicine, a tone emerges that is both light and wise: humorous, tender, unromantic. Wnuk observes without bitterness and encourages us to see ourselves with kindness. A book to chuckle, digest, come together – and to spread the word.
Wnuk gained his breakthrough as ULF in the cult comedy series "STROMBERG."
As HINNERK FELDMANN in the ZDF successful series "Nord Nord Mord," he has been delighting nearly 9-10 million viewers in front of TV screens regularly for 15 years now. His self-written ARD series "Das Leben ist kein Kindergarten," in which he also played the lead role, and the ZDF family series "Die Bachmanns" are among his recent successes.
Oliver Wnuk, born in 1976 in Konstanz, has been writing since he started acting: over the past 25 years, he has appeared as an actor in over 135 film and television productions; at the same time, he has written novels, numerous screenplays and children's books, theater and audio pieces, as well as essays for print media.
Prominent voices on the book:
Brutally honest and open, Oliver Wnuk looks at himself and life, asking all the questions we all have. He fears not at all for the answers. That's beautiful but also lightly contemplative and very rare.
- Katrin Bauerfeind
Oliver Wnuk writes as he acts: dreamy and precise, perplexed and powerful. He often loses and thereby wins! And always hilariously because it’s so sad – I love it.
- Annette Frier
Most readers will recognize themselves in many places in what Oliver writes. The book is very personal and precisely for that reason also universal – because we, regardless of whether young or old, man or woman, partnered or single, are ultimately cut from the same cloth, live in the same world, and share the same fears and longings… In this sense, "Besser wird's nicht" is a user manual for authenticity.
