Jochen Schmidt brings literary presence to Fürth with Hoplopoiia

With Hoplopoiia, Jochen Schmidt offers a precise, comedic, and at the same time melancholic view of life in constant change. The reading at the Kulturforum Fürth promises a literary experience that not only introduces contemporary literature but makes it tangible: as an encounter with language, attitude, and fine observational skills.

A novel about overwhelm, change, and city life

At the center is Richard Sparka, a resigned protagonist who despairs at the rapid change of his life environment. Separation, aging, and gentrified neighborhoods combine to form a social portrait conveyed with wit and precision. Jochen Schmidt connects literary quality with a clear perspective on everyday disruptions.
