March 2015Pechrabenschwarz
Roman
by Renata Adler, Helga Huisgen
In Pechrabenschwarz erzählt Renata Adler mit kühner Raffinesse von Kate und ihrem Wagnis, sie selbst zu sein. Denn Kate befindet sich in einer Beziehung zu einem verheirateten Mann. Und die Widersprüchlichkeiten häufen sich, im Kopf und anderswo, bis sie die junge Frau zur Flucht aus New York treiben, mitten in die pechrabenschwarze Nacht im irischen Nirgendwo … Renata Adlers Sound – im selben Moment nüchtern und sublim – ist unverkennbar. Dieser Sound machte ihren von der deutschen Kritik gefeierten Erstling Rennboot zu der Wiederentdeckung der letzten Jahre und Adler zu einem brandneuen Klassiker.

September 2020Drei Nächte, drei Tage
by Marie-Claire Blais, Nicola Denis
Eine sonnendurchflutete Insel, irgendwo im Golf von Mexiko. Hier leben Menschen in Reichtum, andere in extremer Armut. Und hier versucht eine Frau namens Renata sich nach einem Eingriff auszukurieren. Doch ihre Unruhe gilt nicht nur ihrer Gesundheit, Renata schwankt zwischen hedonistischen Ausschweifungen und der Verantwortung für andere, zwischen der Schönheit der Welt und ihrer Ungerechtigkeit. Währenddessen finden auf der ganzen Insel Festivitäten statt – man feiert die Geburt eines Kindes und das Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts –, es versammelt sich ein schillerndes Ensemble an Charakteren: Künstler, Drag-Queens, Ku-Klux-Klan-Mitglieder, Kinder, die in unschuldige Spiele vertieft sind, Geflüchtete der benachbarten Inseln. Sie alle verbindet eine innere Zerrissenheit und das unausweichliche, sie umgebende Meer. Drei Nächte, drei Tage ist das Porträt eines tropischen Inselkollektivs zwischen Exzess und Verzweiflung. Ein schier atemloses, polyphones Werk, barock und radikal zeitgenössisch, »ein visionäres, unentbehrliches, opulentes Sittenbild des späten 20. Jahrhunderts« (Voir).
