Axel Brauns reads from Color Shadows and Bats in Rosenheim
An immersive author encounter awaits literature enthusiasts on December 3, 2026, at the Rosenheim district office. Axel Brauns reads from his autobiographical narrative Color Shadows and Bats – Life in Another World, in which he describes his upbringing with autism and his personal perception of the world.
Literature as a Change of Perspective
Axel Brauns is one of the independent voices of contemporary German-language literature. His autobiographical prose combines precise observation, unusual imagery, and a consistently subjective narrative. The book, published in 2002, made experiences visible that had long received too little space in literary and social discourse on autism.
For an excerpt from Color Shadows and Bats, Brauns received a Hamburg Literature Award in 2000. The book made it to the Spiegel bestseller list and was nominated for the German Book Prize in the category of Most Successful Debut in 2003.
A Reading with Room for Encounter
The atmosphere of the reading emphasizes listening and communal exchange. After the reading, there will be an opportunity for a conversation with Axel Brauns. Thus, the event combines literary quality with a direct author encounter, broadening the perspective on language, perception, and lived diversity.
Book Table and Inclusive Event
A book table offers Color Shadows and Bats as well as other books on the topic of autism. Sign language interpreters will translate the event. The venue is accessible and reachable by public transport.
Conclusion: Literature that Creates Understanding
Visitors can expect a literary experience with a distinctive voice, an autobiographically influenced work, and time for direct exchange. Admission is free, and seating is limited. Prompt registration ensures participation in this special reading for the International Day of People with Disabilities.
