Reading tip
Ursula Fricker, Ausser sich: It happened on a drive to the countryside, to Mecklenburg. Katja and Sebastian, a couple of Berlin architects, were on a longplanned outing to visit friends for the weekend. Katja was behind the wheel. They had recently been wondering whether they wanted to have a child in their forties – but suddenly things take a different turn.
Reading tip
Pascale Kramer, Gloria: When Michel receives a phone call from Gloria, asking him to go and see her, he knows he should say ‘no’: he shouldn’t go. Gloria belongs to his past, he was involved with her years before. He knew her at that time in his life, when he was still married and was working in an advice centre that she occasionally visited, when she was hanging out on the streets. In the meantime, Michel has been sacked by the advice centre: they said at first it was because he was being too sympathetic to clients; then he was accused of having inappropriate relationships with children.
Reading tip
Markus Werner, Festland: Julia wants to leave, it doesn’t matter where she’ll go, she just wants to leave. She just graduated and now faces a big emptyness which her complacent boyfriend is unable to fill. Then her father calls, she hasn’t seen him for five years. He wants to leave, too. She agrees to visit him because she wants to learn more about her origin. She is a «child of absentmindedness», she learns from him, a child born from a shallow love between an attractive mother and a shy father who could not stand up to her. Julia was placed at her grandmother’s. In an intense conversation – essentially her father’s pensive soliloqui – they speak about their failed relationship. Finally, Julia heads down south in order to bring clarity to her thoughts through writing. It is from her viewpoint that Markus Werner narrates an old tale with gentle clarity. The various levels are delicately interwoven, and, layer by layer, the past is brought to the surface. This is how the formally perfect novel charms the reader. Elaborately, without being obtrusive, the author embeds the dramaturgy of happenstance into a net of motives, symbols, allusions and correlations and thereby captures the existential contingency in a compact form.
