Sophia FritzThe Man – A Victim? Men still predominantly wield power and shape societal structures. Yet, behind this dominance lies a contradictory reality: men who withdraw, remain silent, or are emotionally unavailable – in relationships, families, and towards themselves. Starting from the loss of her brother, Sophia Fritz embarks on a poignant investigation. She asks how masculinity is formed today and why it is so often linked to pain – for men themselves and for those around them. Following "Toxic Femininity," with "The Man, The Victim" (release date October 6, 2026), she presents a wise and empathetic analysis of patriarchal masculinity – and simultaneously opens up the perspective for a freer, more vulnerable understanding of what it can mean to be a man today.We are delighted to welcome Sophia Fritz to our bookstore in Eimsbüttel on October 15th.The venue is not accessible.
