Christoph Kramer Writing Second Novel as Debut Premieres Onstage Friday

He says years in professional football taught him to welcome pressure.

Overview

  • Kramer confirmed to the Rheinische Post that he is working on a second book and that it will be a novel, but he withheld further details.
  • A stage adaptation of his bestselling debut, "Das Leben fing im Sommer an," opens Friday at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, where he plans to attend the premiere.
  • He said the demands of a follow-up do not unsettle him because he is accustomed to high-pressure environments from his playing career.
