HIP TO BE SQUARE

  • 235,000 copies sold!

There’s just no stopping Renate: she’s 82 years old and still going strong, albeit with the help of her trusty walking frame. But 4 husbands and 3000 bottles of schnapps have taken their toll. Dr Bürgel needs to operate on Renate’s hip, so hardy Renate has to go to hospital. And because a person isn’t just an old ‘Coyota’ where you just stick in a replacement part, Renate has to go where the pain is. To where many a disc has been slipped, many a cigarette smoked on the sly and where the beds are all height-adjustable: Renate moves in to a post-op physiotherapy ward.

Renate Bergmann

Renate Bergmann lives in Berlin. She helped clear bombing debris after WWII, worked for the East German state railway, is a household professional and a four-time widow. In 2013, she took to Twitter and began microblogging about her insights and exploits. Her books, meanwhile, have won over the analogue world. Torsten Rohde , born in 1974, studied business administration and worked as a financial controller. His Twitter account @RenateBergmann, in which he tweets about Renate’s exploits, became an internet phenomenon. His book Ich bin nicht süß. ich hab bloß Zucker , published under his pseudonym Renate Bergmann, was a phenomenal success, and was followed by many other successful books and reading tours.
