Tomer Gardi reads in Freising from his novel Deliver
On November 13, 2026, the Israeli author Tomer Gardi will be a guest at the 44th Literary Autumn in Freising. At Café Camerloher, he will present his new novel Deliver – a multi-voiced contemporary epic about food delivery drivers, migration, work, and the invisible structures of the globalized city.
A literary world tour on bicycles
At the center of the novel are people whose paths are often overlooked in daily life. Gardi tells, among other things, the story of Filmon from Eritrea, who has been trying for years to get from Tel Aviv to Berlin to live with his family. The stories of the bicycle couriers traverse several metropolises and connect personal fates with the mechanisms of platform economy.
Between linguistic art and global present
Tomer Gardi is one of the most original voices in contemporary German-language literature. He became known with Broken German, a deliberately broken and poetically productive language of art. Even in Deliver, different linguistic spaces, perspectives, and narrative styles intersect. Together with translator Anne Birkenhauer, a literary form has emerged that understands multilingualism not as a barrier, but as a creative force.
Literature with political sensitivity
Gardi combines social analysis with narrative energy. His novel focuses on exploitation, dignity, friendship, and the question of how people can remain visible in a work environment determined by evaluations, delivery times, and digital control. Literary criticism highlights the connection of political accuracy, humor, and linguistic verve.
A prize-winning author in the literary autumn
Gardi was born in 1974 in Kibbutz Dan in Galilee and lives in Berlin. For his novel A Round Thing, he received the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in 2022. His radio play Broken German won the German Radio Play Prize of the ARD in 2017. The reading in Freising offers the opportunity to experience his distinctive voice and the special reading atmosphere of his literature firsthand.
Conclusion: An evening for curious readers
The reading from Deliver promises a literary experience between world travel, social analysis, and linguistic art. Those who appreciate contemporary literature with an international perspective, unusual narratives, and human closeness can experience Tomer Gardi live in Freising on November 13, 2026. Admission is free.
