Took me a while - but I read a new book.
It's in German - so I continue in German.
✨
Ich habe mich sehr gefreut, als der Kanon-Verlag #dermitdemaffen mich zu einer Rezension von DRY von Christine Koschmieder eingeladen hat.
✨
Bücher über das Thema Alkohol gibt es im Moment viele, das Thema ist aktuell, es gibt viele Bücher von Frauen darüber, da Alkoholsucht gerade verstärkt Frauen betrifft. Das liegt wohl auch daran (so eine NDR Doku, die ich auch empfehlen kann) , dass Frauen dem Leidensweg von Männern in Berufen, die stressig, fordernd und unbefriedigend sind folgen
Und dann sind Künster:innen und Drogen, nun, ein eigenes Thema ...
✨
Doch Koschmieder hat einen ganz eigenen Zugang gefunden.

“Dry ist ein Roman, kein Memoir, kein Sachbuch”, schreibt Christine Koschmieder in einer Vornotiz zum Buch und weist ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass die Kinder – die in den Roman sehr viel Raum einnehmen – nicht Oleg, Tillie und Karl heißen. Und widmet es Karenin, Lotta und Mattis. Mit dem Zusatz: Ein paar mehr Antworten, ein paar mehr Fragen.
✨
Der Verlag sagt über das Buch: “ein mutiger autofiktionaler Roman”. Autofiktion interessiert mich. Die Vermischung von Realität, Memoir, Autobiographie und dem Schreibprozess. Denn Leben und Schreiben sind für Autor:innen in der Regel eng miteinander verbunden.
✨
Das Buch liest sich extrem gut und flüssig. Koschmieder hat einen eigenen Sound, knapp, ohne jede Eitelkeit. Manchmal ein wenig harsch sich selbst gegenüber, aber so ehrlich, wie man ehrlich sein kann, wenn man sich selbst beobachtet.

Ein gut geschriebenes Buch von einer Autorin, die das Schreiben versteht. Dieses Buch kann ich sofort empfehlen, insbesondere, wenn einen das Thema interessiert.

Und doch bleiben für mich einige Fragen offen, die sowohl die Ausführung, den Umgang mit dem Thema als auch die Einordnung in die Gegenwartsliteratur betreffen.
✨
Wen der Rest der Rezension interessiert, kann gerne zum Red Bug Culture Blog wechseln (link in Bio).

Well - this was a very long Intsta-pause. (And are there new emojis? Like - a lot?)
It's due to the fact, that I'm in the final phase of writing my next book #youngadult
It's coming next month and I am excited and curious #stagefright and all what's coming up, when you show something to the public you really care about.
✨
Also - This summer is amazing. And I enjoy it. Sunny and warm (and without thinking to much about climate change),Ilove the daily swims in the nearby lake and coffee time in one of the many gardens in Potsdam.
🌼
My private blog is in a deep sleep, but I launghed a lot of new blog articles on Red Bug Culture. Mostly for our Patreons. This is a new adventure -let's see were it takes me.

And - of course - every Sunday we are having our Kunstsalon on Clubhous. One Artwork, one artist and one hour to talk about it.

I realize there is a lot going on.

Hope, you all are well and happy - seems the most important thing in the moment and in life.💛

More and more bloggers stop blogging. That's so sad!
Please stay in the blog universe. Write on. Flowers to all of them.

Because Mikroblogging on Insta or on Facebook or Twitter is not the sam.
I love long blog articles.
But I have to admit - YouTube Videos are much easier to watch.
✨
And well ...

“The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues.”
― Terry Pratchett

I have two little trees. One with lemons, the other with oranges. They died over the winter. Lost all their leaves. This two trees were strange. I had the felling, they want to be near each other because they got very long branches to reach over.
🌱
And now they are gone. Exactly at the same time. Together?
🌱
But I kept them. I spoke with them. Come back. I will place you near each other.
And the other morning, they had the tiniest leaves. Both. At the same time.
🌱
I should probably keep my promise ...

“It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses. ”
― Colette

My: "I'm back post." There is so much going on ...

But -
I discoverd a new author.

Nina Lykke has a great writing style. Very smooth and intelligent, a rare mixture.

Her literary themes include elements of dark satire mixed with humour and tragedy.

She is a bestsellereng author in Norway and I'm really surprised that I have never heard of her before. I stumbled upon her book in the library and loved the cover and the blurb.
✨
"Natural Causes",( in German: Alles wird gut") is about "Elin", who is a doctor and has been married to "Axel" for two decades. She finds everything turned upside down when her ex "Bjørn" appears on Facebook.
✨
She moves into her doctor's office in an absurd cohabitation with the plastic skeleton "Tore", with whom she has interesting dialogues. Thematics in the novel include infidelity, dissolution of marriage, and decadence of the middle class.
There is a very unexpected end. Fun to read :)

"No one can sense the undercurrents of a populace better than a general practitioner. I’ve seen it all, gluten free, lactose free, sugar free, the online or print headlines trying to make healthy people think that everything is going to fall into place if only they’ll stop eating bread or cheese. Middle-agers who don’t get why they’re always so tired. It’s because you’re starting to get old, I tell them, but they don’t think aging applies to them, just as death doesn’t apply to them either. They think they’re the exception."

It was difficult for me to post the last weeks. What is important, when there is a war in your neighborhood?⁠
⁠🌿⁠
But life goes on, in Kiew and certainly in other parts of the world. I hope this old habit of aggressively attacking a country, other people, the world - ends soon.⁠
⁠🪴⁠
For me - its helpful to create and write, not in a busy way but calm and focussed. Mediation helps too. ⁠

“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.” ⁠

📌Letztens habe ich einen Podcast (The Writer Files) gehört, in dem die Autor:innen sich am Ende alle wünschen sollen, mit wem sie essen gehen wollen und wo. ⁠
Egal ob tot oder lebendig. Die Autorin - Vanessa Veselka - entschied sich für Tolstoi und Dostojewsky. Okay, wow. Gerne gelesen, aber getroffen??⁠
Für wen hätte ich mich entschieden? ⁠
Und wo wäre ich mit ihm oder ihr hingegangen? ⁠
⁠
Wen hätte ihr gewählt? ⁠✨⁠

Spring already.
🌱
So beautiful and still - The ungoing war is not what I, we, I think the world wants, but it’s there, and the world has to deal with it.
I hope, you all fell save and have enough power to help others if nessessary.
🍃
Love and peace.

I find a lot of calmness in my artwork.
This is more experimenting with colour and paper than to write.
