The Anomaly was a highly acclaimed international bestseller. The novel is a mix of thriller and comedy, and above all it is brilliantly written.

In March 2021, a Boeing 787 Paris to New York flight hits turbulence in an electro-magnetic storm. Despite the turbulent conditions, the plane safely lands. However, earlier in June the same Boeing had landed with the same passengers. Cue for the story to begin of a world gone mad, a world of identical copies of people who meet themselves. In a highly amusing way, the novel fathoms the limits of language and reality and calls into question all our certainties.A literary event. A reading and text interpretation by the Burgtheater actress Dorothee Hartinger. The guitar music of Diknu Schneeberger and Alexander Sieber is in the tradition of gypsy jazz.
