February 2020Je tiefer das Wasser
by Katya Apekina, Brigitte Jakobeit
Ein Roman über das Schicksal zweier Schwestern und die Kräfte, die in einer Familie wirken. Über das, was in unserem Inneren tobt, und die Wirklichkeit. Und wie dazwischen vermittelt wird, durch Sprache, Liebe, Kunst … Von der Suche nach der Grenze zwischen zwei Menschen ist Katya Apekina zurückgekehrt: mit einem Roman, der Grenzen verwischt. Edie und Mae sind Schwestern. Die Mutter der beiden hat versucht sich umzubringen, und nun werden sie weggeschafft, aus ihrem Heimatkaff in Louisiana nach New York, aus der Obhut einer labilen Fantastin zum weltberühmten Schriftstellervater, der die Familie vor Jahren verließ. Für Edie bedeutet die neue Umgebung einen unverzeihlichen Verrat, für Mae die langersehnte Möglichkeit der Befreiung. Schnell kommt es zum Bruch. Während die eine einen verzweifelten Rettungsversuch unternimmt, lässt sich die andere ein auf die Zuneigung des Vaters und die Bitte, ihm beim Schreiben seines neuen Romans über die Mutter zu helfen. Alle sind sie getrieben von einer Obsession: Verstehen, was zwischen ihnen, was tief in ihnen vor sich geht.

November 2010Consummatus
Roman
by Sibylle Lewitscharoff
Stuttgart, Café Rösler, Samstag, den 3. April 2004 (vormittags) – ein Mann trinkt. Ralph Zimmermann ist allein mit sich und dem Alkohol. Oder auch nicht. Bei ihm sind Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, Jim Morrison und nicht zuletzt seine Geliebte Joey. Tot zwar allesamt, aber doch anwesend genug, um einen Stift zumindest auf glatter Fläche ein paar Millimeter rollen zu lassen. Und natürlich, um zu kommentieren, was Ralphi-Ralph erzählt: von sich, seinem Leben, seiner Liebe und seinem eigenen Ausflug ins Totenreich. »Falls es Sie interessiert, was uns nach dem Tod erwartet und was Jim Morrison und Andy Warhol heute so treiben, kommen Sie um diesen Roman nicht herum. Und falls es Sie nicht interessiert, dann sind Sie wahrscheinlich schon tot und haben es nur noch nicht gemerkt.« Denis Scheck in Druckfrisch, ARD

FictionFebruary 2021Right Guy, Wrong Time
A #MeToo Love Story
by Louise MacGregor
Edie has what seems like an almost-perfect life: awesome friends, a comfortable apartment she shares with the world’s greatest cat, and a dream job as a record label talent scout. But all is not what it seems. Conflicts are heating up in her life and at work, and things take a serious turn for the worse when she is raped while on a date. Navigating pleasure, work, friends, and her forever-changed mental state after her assault is hard enough. But when the perfect guy turns up at the worst possible time, Edie has to figure out what romance and sex mean to her in the aftermath of rape. This offbeat feminist romance moves beyond “girl meets guy,” dealing empathetically with sexual dysfunction, the ubiquity of rape culture, and what recovery can look like in the #MeToo era.Although it tackles a difficult subject, Right Guy, Wrong Time does so in a way that empowers the reader. The protagonist of this New Adult novel is a relatable character who in many ways provides a good role model for others.Categories: New Adult, Chick Lit, Women's Fiction, Romance

Triple Threat
by Katy Warner
She can sing. She can dance. She can act. But who is she when the curtain closes? At the prestigious performing arts school Arcadia Grammar, the theatre kids and the musical theatre kids have just one rule: you DO NOT go for each other’s lead roles. But Edie is about to throw the rulebook out the window – and all hell is going to break loose. Edie Emerson is a triple threat: she can sing and dance and act. But despite being the lead in every musical at Arcadia, she knows her future on the stage is uncertain. At least until the infamous director Toby Swan agrees to stage Romeo and Juliet at the academy. This show could launch Edie’s career – except she doesn’t do ‘theatre’. And she’s already agreed to star in a new musical written by her best friend, Will. So when Toby casts the annoying-but-hot Noah Winters as Romeo, and he insists on Edie for Juliet, it sets the stage for drama … A contemporary young adult novel about musical theatre, first romance and standing up for yourself from brilliant YA author Katy Warner.

Below the Edge of Darkness
A Memoir of Exploring Light and Life in the Deep Sea
by Dr. Edith Widder
A marine biologist’s quest to study and understand the language of light in the breathtaking darkness of the deep ocean, the largest and least understood habitat in the world. Edie Widder is a scientist, an explorer, an inventor, and a trailblazer. Her career as an ocean-going marine biologist is a highlight reel of adventure and discovery. In hundreds of deep dives her quest to observe, understand, and even interact with bioluminescent animal life has taken her to some of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth. She’s the first person to film a living giant squid, she’s the recipient of a MacArthur Genius Grant, she has given three TED talks (7 million cumulative views). Edie grew up determined to be a marine biologist but a botched surgery during college caused her to go blind, a temporary condition that left in her a fascination with both light and the power of optimism. Her focus turned to oceanic bioluminescence, a scientific frontier requiring a brave and very literal leap into the darkness. On her first ever visit to the deep ocean, in an experimental diving suit that took her to a depth of 800 feet, she turned off the suit’s lights and immediately witnessed a dazzling display of lights and colors made by creatures invisible with the lights on. Concerns about her career went out the window. "I just wanted to know why. Why was there so much light down there?” BELOW THE EDGE OF DARKNESS takes readers deep into our planet’s oceans as Widder pursues her questions about one of the most important and widely used forms of communication in nature. In the process, she reveals hidden worlds and a dazzling menagerie of behaviors and animals, from leviathans to shrimp, many never-before-seen. We live through life and death equipment malfunctions, witness breakthroughs in technology and understanding, all of it set against a growing awareness of the deteriorating health of this, our largest and least understood habitat. Dr. Edith (Edie) A. Widder is a former senior scientist at Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution and co-founder of the Ocean Research and Conservation Association.
