That's enough!
Heike Geißler and Sharon Dodua Otoo tell stories in their novels about women who no longer participate. In Geißler's "Michaela Kohlhaas" (Suhrkamp), a previously completely inconspicuous woman steps out of her former life as deputy cemetery administrator and becomes rebellious. As in Kleist's famous novella, she is driven by experienced injustice and encountered arbitrariness. In Otoo's "So, in etwa, ist es geschehen" (S. Fischer), Amata becomes the murderer of her boss. On a long drive to the Baltic Sea, a series of circumstances escalate the situation: the incessant chatter of the boss, the sweltering heat, and the burden of everyday life as a Black woman in Germany lead Amata to become the perpetrator. Two literary perspectives deeply rooted in history about two women who refuse to participate any longer in the present. The conversation is led by culture editor Elena Witzeck (F.A.Z.).
