86 hours of ›The Sopranos‹ in 11 days – where others go on vacation: Thorsten Nagelschmidt narrates with wit, depth, and unflinching honesty about the attempt to escape his annual misfortune.
For a long time, author and musician Thorsten Nagelschmidt has fallen into a deep pit at the end of the year. He hasn't celebrated Christmas for over 20 years; instead, parties and excesses have formed a reliable means of distraction. However, the depression could never be stopped by that, only delayed.
To break the spell, he decides to spend the holidays in an all-inclusive hotel in Gran Canaria. He will push escapism to its limits and finally watch the most famous series in television history, ›The Sopranos‹. All 7 seasons in a row, 8 hours daily, for 11 days.
In the tradition of David Foster Wallace's cruise reportage ›A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again‹, Nagelschmidt voluntarily immerses himself in an extreme situation to personally, culturally, and with much humor explore what these non-places of the vacation industry and this perhaps strangest time of the year are all about.
