Liebesgschichte

Pedro Lenz, born in 1965 in Langenthal, lives in Olten. He is a writer and columnist. Together with Patrik Neuhaus, he forms the duo Hohe Stirnen, and with Werner Aeschbacher, he is involved in the project Längs & Breits. He is a member of Bern ist überall. His latest works include "Plötzlech hets di am Füdle," "Tanze wi ne Schmätterling," and "Der Goalie bin ig."

In Pedro Lenz's love stories, Hollywood is far away. Where in the end of the film the lovers kiss and the sun sets, the Lenz stories only begin. Namely, in real life. At the Rüebechilbi in Madiswil, at the Deitingen highway rest stop, on Facebook, at the social services office, in the Grottebar in Rütschelen, on the Intercity train from Bern to Zurich, and on the fire escape in Schilager Schönried. Pedro Lenz asks in an interview with the Aargauer Zeitung: What kind of society is it where everyone knows something about Britney Spears' underwear but nothing about their neighbor? His stories are about these neighbors. He tells with affection about them, their strengths and weaknesses, their longing for love, and the pitfalls of everyday life.
