        Nachtfrauen

        Roman | Das lange erwartete Buch der Erfolgsautorin von »Engel des Vergessens«

        by Maja Haderlap

        Als Mira ins Auto steigt, um sich auf den Weg nach Südkärnten zu machen, weiß sie, dass ihr schwierige Tage bevorstehen: Ihre alte Mutter muss auf den Auszug aus dem Haus vorbereitet werden, in dem sie vor Jahrzehnten als ungelernte Arbeiterin mit den damals noch kleinen Kindern Obdach gefunden hat. Tatsächlich verdichten sich im Lauf der folgenden Wochen die Erinnerungen an eine als traumatisch erlebte Kindheit, die vom frühen Tod des Vaters genauso belastet war wie von der rigiden patriarchalen Ordnung und den Dogmen der katholischen Kirche. Die alten, unaufgelösten Konflikte verschaffen sich neuen Raum, und Mira beginnt zu verstehen, dass sie von den lang beschwiegenen Lebensgeschichten ihrer Ahninnen befeuert werden: Tagelöhnerin die eine, die unter dramatischen Umständen ums Leben kam, Partisanin die andere, die nach dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs nicht mehr nach Kärnten zurückkehrte. In eindringlichen Bildern erzählt Maja Haderlap in ihrem neuen Roman aus dem Leben dreier Generationen von Frauen, von ihren Verstrickungen in aufgezwungene und verinnerlichte Leitbilder und ihrem Ringen um Autonomie. Die Geschichte der Nachtfrauen ist eine der Verluste, des Schweigens und der Schuld, in der trotz allem die Nachsicht und der Respekt füreinander, vielleicht sogar die Liebe, nicht aufgegeben werden.

        Body Work

        The Radical Power of Personal Narrative

        by Melissa Febos,

        In this bold and exhilarating mix of memoir and writing guide, Melissa Febos tackles the emotional, psychological, and physical work of writing intimately while offering an utterly fresh examination of the storyteller's life and the challenges it presents. How do we write about the relationships that have formed us? How do we describe our bodies, their desires and traumas? What does it mean to have your writing, or living, dismissed as "navel-gazing"-or else hailed as "so brave, so raw"? And to whom, in the end, do our most intimate stories belong? Drawing on her journey from aspiring writer to acclaimed author and writing professor-via addiction and recovery, sex work and academia-Melissa Febos has created a captivating guide to the writing life, and a brilliantly unusual exploration of subjectivity, privacy, and the power of divulgence. Candid and inspiring, Body Work will empower readers and writers alike, offering ideas-and occasional notes of caution-to anyone who has ever hoped to see their true self reflecting back from the open page.
