Question Time with Sebastian Fitzek

Sebastian-FitzekQ. Which other EAFOL 2016 participant are you most excited about? Tom Callaghan, Ian Rankin and Chris Cater - to name only a few of the brilliant authors that attend at the festival. I am very happy to be among with them. Q. Which book(s) are you reading now?The Martian by Andy Weir. I am not so into sci-fi novels but this thriller is really mind-blowing. Q. Which literary character would you invite to dinner? And why? Hannibal Lecter of course, it would be great talking to a hyper intelligent mind like him, but he won’t be allowed to cook. Q. There have been some interesting additions to the dictionary over the years. Which word would you remove? In Germany you don’t have a single word to say: ‘I am not thirsty anymore’. They invented ‘sitt’, which is nonsense. No one uses it. Q. Who would write/ illustrate the story of your life? A comedian.
