        Die Sandelholzstrafe

        Roman

        by Mo Yan, Karin Betz

        In seinem großen historischen Epos inszeniert Mo Yan eine farbenprächtige Pekingoper aus der deutschen Kolonialgeschichte seines Heimatlands. Vor der Kulisse einer untergehenden Epoche treten fünf Figuren auf die Bühne der Geschichte und kämpfen für das, was sie bewahren wollen, und für die, die sie lieben. Viel Neues geschieht im China des Jahres 1899: Von überall her drängen fremde Menschen in das zuvor verschlossene Reich. Sie bringen etwa die Eisenbahn, die bei der Provinzstadt Gaomi über die Gräber der Ahnen verlaufen soll. Vieles geht aber auch zu Ende in diesen letzten Tagen des Jahrhunderts: Das Kaiserreich liegt in Agonie, ebenso wie Sun Bing, der Opernsänger und Anführer des Aufstands gegen die Trasse und deren Erbauer. Um seinen Ungehorsam zu ahnden, bündelt die Staatsmacht all ihre Kräfte und verordnet ein letztes Mal die Sandelholzstrafe, die grausamste und zugleich kunstvollste der überkommenen Foltermethoden. Leib und Leben nicht allein des Opfers, sondern auch seiner Tochter, ihres Ehemanns, ja selbst des Henkers und des Richters stehen mit diesem Urteilsspruch auf dem Richtplatz der Geschichte. In einem der bedeutendsten chinesischen Romane der jüngsten Zeit spielt Mo Yan virtuos das Spiel der Masken, Perspektiven und Kontraste. Gewalt und Poesie, Empathie und schwarzer Humor, Derbheit und Feinsinn, die Fülle des westlichen Romans und die Eleganz der chinesischen Oper gehen in seiner bilderreichen und suggestiven Sprache Hand in Hand.

        Posthuman Journey Trilogie

        by Pat To Yan, John Birke, Ulrike Syha

        Das zentrale Motiv der Reise verbindet diese Trilogie: Wohin die Figuren auch gehen, sie sind in einem Transitzustand, in Umbruchssituationen, auf der Flucht und auf der Suche nach den Bedingungen für eine freie Gesellschaft. Eine kurze Chronik des künftigen China erzählt eine Bewegung gegen den Strom: Alle fliehen vor dem Krieg in den Süden des Landes, während »Der Außenstehende« die Rückreise antritt ins Zentrum der Katastrophe, um sich mit seiner verdrängten traumatischen Geschichte zu konfrontieren. Eine posthumane Geschichte beginnt mit einem Soldaten, der vom Homeoffice aus feindliche Gebiete bombardiert. Als sein Sohn ohne Gesäß geboren wird, reist er an den Kriegsort und versucht Verantwortung für die eigene Schuld zu übernehmen. Überall im Universum Klang ist der philosophischste Teil der Trilogie. Er spielt im All und auf einem noch unbekannten Planeten. Die Erde wird von einem schwarzen Loch geschluckt. Ein Mann versucht seine Geliebte wiederzufinden, die dabei in einen anderen Bewusstseinszustand transformiert wurde. Pat To Yans Szenarien sind bevölkert von mythologisch inspirierten und allegorischen Figuren, zwischen Mensch und Tier, zwischen Mensch und Androide. Sie bewegen sich stets in parallel existierenden Bewusstseinsebenen und Timelines. Seine vom magischen Realismus beeinflusste Schreibweise erzählt vom Sterben, Leben und Überleben in politisch repressiven Systemen. »Wenn du über die Grausamkeit der Realität schreiben willst, darf es nicht realistisch sein.« Das unheimliche Mädchen aus Teil 1, Eine kurze Chronik des künftigen China

        Die irgendwie richtige Richtung

        Eine Pilgerreise

        by Gideon Lewis-Kraus

        »Jakobsweg – Zielstrebigkeit – 10. Juni«. Was soll das? Er kann sich beim besten Willen nicht mehr erinnern, warum er das in sein Notizbuch geschrieben hat. Gideon ruft seinen Freund Tom an, und der weiß es. Sie sind zum gemeinsamen Pilgern verabredet. Am 10. Juni geht es los. Der Weg ist das Ziel, alles andere ist egal. Hauptsache, die Richtung stimmt, irgendwie. Santiago di Compostela ist weit entfernt, aber Berlin mit seinen Galerieeröffnungen, Bars und Clubs glücklicherweise auch. Pilgernd will er sich von den Zwängen der grenzenlosen Freiheit befreien. Und der ersten großen Krise seines Lebens entkommen, in die er geriet, als der Vater, ein schwuler Rabbi aus New Jersey, die Familie verließ, um mit seinem Freund zusammenzuziehen. Pilgernd kommt er dem eigenen Glück und dem Mysterium seiner Familie, Vaters verborgenem Leben, auf die Spur. Zum Schluss hat sich etwas verändert. Er hat sich verändert. Er hat das Rätsel seines Lebens gelöst. »Im Verlauf eines Jahres, im Verlauf dieses schönen, lebensklugen, drogen-, freundschaft- und sexverherrlichenden Buches wird Gideon Lewis-Kraus geradezu in eine Pilgerschaftsabhängigkeit geraten und von Ort zu Ort ziehen, fort aus der Welt der unendlichen Freiheiten oder der unendlichen Abhängigkeiten, hinüber in die Wanderwelt der Notwendigkeit.« Volker Weidermann, FAS

        Wake Me Up at 9 AM

        by A Yi

        The title comes from a Borges interview, in which Borges planned to write a short story entitled Wake Me Up At 9 AM but he didn’t write it at last. A Yi borrowed this title. In A Yi’s story, looped in the night of his birthday, Hong Yang asks his wife Jin Yan to wake him up at nine AM the next morning, but he doesn’t wake up any longer. The book recalls how Hong Yang, an illiteracy who has been simply considered as an outlaw, becomes well known in the town by taking advantage of his violence and necessary schemes, with the narrative of a hurried and perfunctory funeral. Love, belief, brotherhood and affection have nothing to do with him. The novel makes a scroll-type portrayal of the vanishing village and people living in the village by virtue of him.
