Bestattung Himmelblau dedicates the crime evening to the only certain event in every biography: death. Together with the Sisyphus Literary Association, Austria's largest private funeral company presents three local authors: Sabina Naber reads from her work "Leopoldstadt", El Awadalla brings a classic Vienna crime story with "Too Many Cleaning Ladies" and complements the reading with poems about death and funeral feasts. Ludwig Roman Fleischer provides murderous suspense with "Alles Holler oder Das Unterste zum Oberst".

The event is musically framed by The ZEW with self-composed songs that create a "celestial" sound between the readings.

Austrian Crime Literature in an Atmospheric Setting

Sabina Naber's "Leopoldstadt" is set in 1960s Vienna, where Chief Inspector Wilhelm Fodor investigates a delicate murder case in the summer heat. The trail leads to Leopoldstadt and reveals many dark secrets.

El Awadalla's "Too Many Cleaning Ladies" is a socially critical crime story about prejudice and mistrust in a Viennese apartment building. When an old woman is murdered, a Serbian cleaning lady falls under suspicion, but the truth is far more complex.

Ludwig Roman Fleischer's "Alles Holler oder das Unterste zum Oberst" is a satirical crime collection about thirteen unsolved cases. Colonel Holler tells with dark humor of bizarre murders, where the investigators often fail more than they solve.
