An evening about discipline, shine, and the dark logic of competitive gymnastics
Son Lewandowski brings her debut novel The Routines to Fürth, which forces a look behind the shiny surface of sports. The focus is on the gymnast Amik, whose path is marked by ambition, control, and systematic boundary transgressions. The event is part of LESEN! 2026 and takes place at the Kulturforum Fürth.

A literary experience between body, power, and language
Lewandowski's novel is regarded as a precisely observed, unflinching work about a system that projects a facade of glamour and grace while depleting itself internally. Several cultural journalists highlight the power of the language, the sharpness of the perspective, and the connection between sports and politics. This is precisely where the special atmosphere of the reading lies: an author encounter that not only tells but interrogates.
