Lesung mit Ulrike Haidacher in Riegersburg

The award-winning author and cabaret artist Ulrike Haidacher reads in the Riegersburg Library from her acclaimed debut novel “Malibu Orange” – a tragicomic reckoning with toxic relationships, dependencies, and the myth of the good life.

At the center of the story is a young woman in her early 30s who returns to her hometown for a professional reboot – only to find that her best friend is increasingly losing herself in a relationship with a dominant man. What to do when closeness becomes dependency, when friendship turns into distance?

“Malibu Orange” is a fast-paced, sharply told novel about self-determination, female solidarity, and the question of how much one can – and should – do for a loved one. With sharp wit and psychological depth, Haidacher tells a story that gets under your skin.

Experience an entertaining evening of literature, satire, and substance. The event is suitable for literature enthusiasts, those interested in feminism, and fans of socially critical comedies.

Save the date – a literary highlight in October at the Riegersburg Library!
