        District D

        by Artem Chekh

        District D is a collection of stories united through a common time period and location, from which gradually emerges a portrait of the author against the backdrop of “other shores,” on which his childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood passed. The book paints a self-critical portrait of the author in which one can discern the features of husbandry and cosmopolitanism, pettiness and magnanimity, and much else. Simultaneously, it paints a group portrait of a few dozen more or less registered residents of the aforementioned Cherkasy district with their more or less successful attempts at surviving the unexpected transition from post-soviet to newly independent Ukraine. According to the author, District D served as therapy for his own traumatic experiences because he wrote it while serving in the war: “I would write it out of me and would feel better; I escaped from that war and those experiences into writing.”

        Talmud und Internet

        Eine Geschichte von zwei Welten

        by Jonathan Rosen, Christian Wiese

        »Der Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches war eine Elegie für meine Großmutter, die vor drei Jahren starb und die sich weder für den Talmud noch das Internet besonders interessierte. Dennoch weckten ihr Leben und ihr Tod Gedanken in mir, die weit in die dunkle Vergangenheit des Talmuds zurückführen wie auch hinein in die schwer zu fassende technologische Zukunft.« Jonathan Rosens bewegende »Geschichte von zwei Welten« verbindet Reflexionen und persönliche Erinnerungen; sie wird zu einer intellektuellen Reise, die überraschende Parallelen zwischen Talmud und Internet zutage bringt.Die unerschöpfliche Fülle der rabbinischen überlieferung, die Seiten des Talmud, wie auch das World Wide Web machen die Chance eines Diskurses sichtbar, zu dessen Wesen es gehört, mit Ungewißheiten und Paradoxien zu leben, anstatt sie mit autoritären Sinnstiftungen aufzuheben. Der Talmud mit seinen die Grenzen von Zeit und Ort übergreifenden Debatten sicherte das überleben des Judentums nach der Zerstörung des Tempels. Die Exilsituation, die über Jahrhunderte jüdische Existenz geprägt hat, wird in Rosens Deutung transparent für eine hoffnungsvolle Wahrnehmung der Gegenwart. Indem er die Geschichte der eigenen Familie erzählt, gelingt ihm eine exemplarische Positionsbestimmung jüdischen Lebens in unserer Zeit.

        Briefwechsel

        Mit Briefen von und an Clara Rilke-Westhoff

        by Rainer Maria Rilke, Ellen Key, Theodore Fiedler

        Der Briefwechsel Rainer Maria Rilkes (1875-1926) und Ellen Keys (1849-1926) gehört zu den aufschlußreichsten Dokumenten von Rilkes dichterischem Selbstverständnis. Die heute weitgehend vergessene schwedische Schriftstellerin hatte mit ihrer Studie »Das Jahrhundert des Kindes« (1900) biographische Erfahrungen Rilkes wie der anderer Autoren des Jahrhundertbeginns bestätigt: deren Leiden unter der Erwachsenenwelt, speziell der Schule.

        Andernorts

        by Doron Rabinovici

        Weshalb polemisiert der israelische Kulturwissenschaftler Ethan Rosen gegen einen Artikel, den er selbst verfaßt hat? Erkennt er seinen eigenen Text nicht wieder? Oder ist er seinem Kollegen Klausinger in die Falle gegangen, mit dem er um eine Professur an der Wiener Universität konkurriert? Ethan Rosen und Rudi Klausinger: Beide sind sie Koryphäen auf demselben Forschungsgebiet, und doch könnten sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein: Rosen ist überall zu Hause und nirgends daheim. Selbst der Frau, die er liebt, stellt er sich unter falschem Namen vor. Klausinger wiederum ist Liebkind und Bastard zugleich. Er weiß sich jedem Ort anzupassen und ist trotzdem ruhelos: Was ihn treibt, ist die Suche nach seinem leiblichen Vater; sie führt ihn schließlich nach Israel und zu Ethan Rosen. Dessen Vater, ein alter Wiener Jude, der Auschwitz überlebte, braucht dringend eine neue Niere. Bald wird die Suche nach einem geeigneten Spenderorgan für die Angehörigen zur Obsession. Und selbst der obskure Rabbiner Berkowitsch hat plötzliches Interesse an den Rosens. Herkunft, Identität, Zugehörigkeit – um und um wirbelt Doron Rabinovici in seinem neuen Roman "Andernorts" die Verhältnisse in einer jüdischen Familie, deckt ihre alten Geheimnisse auf und beobachtet sie bei neuen Heimlichkeiten. Am Ende dieser packend erzählten Geschichte sind alle Gewißheiten beseitigt. Nur eines scheint sicher: Heimat ist jener Ort, wo einem am fremdesten zumute ist.
