The renowned actor and former prison doctor Joe Bausch presents his latest work "Crazy Blood – or How I Became Who I Am" in Wassenberg. Known from the Cologne "Tatort" as Dr. Joseph Roth, Bausch combines personal experiences with professional insights in his reading. His long-standing role as a prison doctor at the Werl correctional facility shapes his narratives, which provide deep insights into the human abyss. With bestsellers like "Prison," "Gangster Blues," and "Maxima Culpa," he has already celebrated literary successes. In his current book, Bausch reflects on personal experiences of humiliation and violence. A poignant quote from the work reads: "I was constantly falling or tumbling down somewhere, scraping my knees or bloodying my head. Then Aunt Res comforted me: 'That's good, a little hole in the head,' she said, 'then the crazy blood can flow out.'" This event promises a captivating blend of literature and life story.
