Death is a part of life – even children know that. Husch Josten has written about it in "The Simultaneity of Things" and takes us on a journey to life's central themes: love, loss, transience – and the beauty that lies in their simultaneity. Husch Josten succeeds in illuminating even the most difficult topics with lightness, humor, and deep empathy.

THE SIMULTANEOUSNESS OF THINGS

A story about friendship, grief, and a love that questions everything

Jean Tobelmann, a third-generation restaurateur, has a quirky regular customer – the young Sourie, who passionately explores what most people prefer to remain silent about: the end of life. Why? Tobelmann delves into the humorous eccentric's story and discovers something that couldn't be more understandable and yet more incomprehensible, something that goes far beyond Sourie's love affair with their mutual friend Tessa and the bond between the two men.
Weightlessly, with subtle irony and observation, Husch Josten tells of life's pitfalls. Of true friendship, wrong decisions, the search for meaning, and love—our only weapon against mortality.
