Josef Brustmann reads in Traunstein: A literary evening about origins, music, and the fragile happiness of life

With “Everyone is someone”, Josef Brustmann presents his autobiographical narrative in the NUTS – the cultural factory. The evening combines reading, musical memories, and an extraordinarily personal author encounter into a literary experience that tells of poverty, family, displacement, and the saving power of music. The book is published by Allitera Verlag; the event is scheduled for Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 6:00 PM.

A debut novel with existential weight

Josef Brustmann, known as a multi-instrumentalist, cabaret artist, and recipient of important cultural awards, reads from a work that does not settle for mere memory. Everyone is someone tells in raw, brief, and yet poetic language about a childhood in great poverty, about losses, about the father's silence after war and imprisonment, and about a family that keeps afloat through singing and making music. This reading promises no literary pose but rather authenticity, linguistic artistry, and emotional precision.

Why this book impresses literarily

The book stands in a tradition of Bavarian and Southern German remembrance literature without losing itself in it. The response from literary critics and publishers is remarkable: Michael Krüger, Edgar Selge, Peter Handke, Johano Strasser, and Monika Helfer commend the linguistic power and poetic density of the narrative. ZEIT also emphasizes that Brustmann's family story is told with a love for music, about flight, and about a life without kitsch. For literature lovers in Traunstein, this creates an evening that blends biographical prose, cultural history, and quiet, lasting intensity.

The reading atmosphere in the NUTS – the cultural factory

The NUTS – the cultural factory is regarded in Traunstein as an intimate cultural venue with its own character. The event location is at Crailsheimstraße 12, near the train station; parking options in the vicinity of the station and in the city center are mentioned for those arriving by car. The room is described as well-suited for focused formats; a local event page mentions around 100 seats. Especially for a reading with an autobiographical core, this creates a close, concentrated setting in which voice, text, and silence resonate powerfully.
