      Der Schlaf in den Uhren

      Roman

      by Uwe Tellkamp

      August 2015: Fabian Hoffmann, der einstige Dissident, steht als Chronist in Diensten der »Tausendundeinenachtabteilung« von Treva. Hier, in den Labyrinthen eines unterirdischen Reichs, arbeitet die »Sicherheit« an Aktivitäten, zu denen einst auch die Wiedervereinigung zweier geteilter Staaten gehörte. In diese Welt ist Fabian einem ihrer Kapitäne, Deckname »Nemo«, gefolgt, um herauszufinden, wer seine Schwester und seine Eltern verraten hat. Zugleich ist Fabian mit einer Chronik befasst, die zum 25. Jahrestag der Wiedervereinigung erscheinen soll. Doch es kommt anders. Fabian gerät auf eine Reise, die ihn tief in die trevische Gesellschaft und ihre Utopien hineinführt. Er analysiert Ordnungsvorstellungen und Prinzipien der Machtausübung, die Verflechtungen von Politik, Staatsapparat und Medien, beobachtet die Veränderungen im alltäglichen Leben. Immer mehr löst sich dabei seine Chronik von ihrem ursprünglich amtlichen Auftrag, streift zurück bis in das Dresden seiner Kindheit, in die stillstehende Zeit vor zwei Epochenjahren. Auf seiner Suche nach Ordnung und Sinn kämpft Fabian gegen die Windmühlen der Macht, die Fälschungen der Wirklichkeit, den Verlust aller Sicherheiten – und gibt doch den Traum von einer befreiten Zukunft nicht verloren.
