Children's & YAAugust 2020Cryptos
by Poznanski, Ursula
Where do we go when Nowhere is the only destination left? Kerrybrook is Jana‘s favourite virtual escape. An idyllic fishing village with beautiful nature and, every now and then, a breeze of fresh air from the nearby sea. Jana, is this world‘s designer and person in power, she’s satisfied with her masterpiece. Best job so far. Until one day, a dead body is found, in both, ’Virtual Reality‘ and the real world. In times of climate change, VR is the only safe place for humankind. That‘s why Jana needs to solve the crime, she’s responsible for stopping the destruction. • CliFi Thriller (Climate Fiction): Climate change & virtual reality • For fans of Black Mirror (Netflix) • All age readers • Strong, female protagonist • Highly relevant topic WHITE RAVENS recommendation (2021): "In the not too distant future, the world is an inhospitable place: droughts, storms, floods. That’s why world designers construct »alternative realities«, such as landscapes populated by dinosaurs, life at court in the Middle Ages, and surfing and chilling out on a beach. People can switch between these worlds at will and, when they die there, they are not truly dead; instead, they merely return to the »real world« – same as at night when they sleep. Then they are reunited with their body, which is lying inside a capsule. In »Cryptos«, Ursula Poznanski pulls out all the stops of storytelling: She embeds numerous references to human and intellectual history in an action-packed and extremely suspenseful thriller plot. In the process, she raises central existential and ontological questions that result from the interplay between the real and the virtual worlds. This complex dystopian novel is narrated in such an enjoyable way that readers will hardly notice their brains going into overdrive as they devour it."

August 2017Aquila
by Poznanski, Ursula
"LAST CHANCE." Nika looks in the mirror one Sunday morning, feeling rather hungover, to see this message daubed on the glass. Who wrote it? And what does it mean? Where are Nika’s house keys and her phone? Where’s Jenny, her flatmate? And why does she feel so terrible this morning – surely she didn’t have that much to drink last night? It’s only when she turns on the TV and sees the morning news that Nika realises it’s not Sunday at all – it’s Tuesday. Two whole days have gone by, and she has no memory of them. During those two days something terrible must have happened. But what?With Aquila, Ursula Poznanski has produced a true psychological thriller. She tells the story almost entirely in reverse, keeping the reader on tenterhooks until the very last page. Not until the shocking twist at the end of the book do we find out what really happened to Nika during those two lost days.

Ungezürnt
Gedichte, Lichter, Lesezeichen
by Ursula Krechel
Längst gehören die Gedichte von Ursula Krechel zum Kanon deutschsprachiger Lyrik; »Nach Mainz!« (1977), »Verwundbar wie in den besten Zeiten« (1979) und »Vom Feuer lernen« (1985), fast das ganze Gedichtwerk der 70er und 80er Jahre, ist seit längerer Zeit vergriffen. Ausgewählt, geringfügig überarbeitet und mit manchen klugen Ausdeutungen und ›Lesezeichen‹ versehen, wird die Lyrik von Ursula Krechel nun wieder neu vorgestellt: »Ungezürnt«. Ob in der Lyrik, in ihrem erzählerischen oder essayistisch-kritischen Werk, Ursula Krechels Literatur »pocht auf Zeitgenossenschaft«. So schrieb auch Friederike Mayröcker beglückwünschend: »Das ist eine poetische Sprache des 21. Jahrhunderts, verzeihen Sie, daß ich so enthusiastisch reagiere...«
