"Man ir vairāk privilēģiju nekā jebkuram cilvēkam manā ģimenē. Un es joprojām esmu dimbā," godalgotās autores Olīvijas Venzelas grāmata ir valdzinoša un satraucoša literārā debija par rasi, politiku, feminismu, mātes stāvokli, tautību un ilgstošu mīlestību.
Jauna sieviete apmeklē izrādi par Berlīnes mūra nojaukšanu un ir vienīgā melnādainā skatītāju vidū.
Viņa ar savu draugu sēž pie ezera, kad parādās četri nacisti.
Ņujorkā viņa ir kļuvusi lieciniece Trampa uzvarai vēlēšanās dīvainā viesnīcas numurā un vēlāk pamostas no paniskām draugu ziņām.
Iesaistoties asprātīgā jautājumā pati ar sevi, stāstniece ielūkojas mūsu strauji mainīgajos laikos un stāsta par savu ģimeni: savu māti, kura Austrumvācijā bija panks un nekad nav ieguvusi tādu brīvību, par kādu viņa sapņoja, un viņas prombūtnē esošo angolā tēvu. Bet visa fonā ir viņas atmiņas par dvīņubrāli, kurš nomira, kad viņiem bija deviņpadsmit.
Olīvija Venzela emocionāli un smieklīgi raksta par vientulību un dzīvesprieka atrašanu lomās, ko sabiedrība jums piešķir.
"1000 Coils of Fear" ir gan spēcīgi poētisks, gan pārsteigumu pilns ļoti oriģināls romāns .
1000 Coils of Fear
I have more privilege than any person in my family. And I'm still screwed.' From award-winning author Olivia Wenzel comes a captivating and unsettling literary debut about race, politics, feminism, motherhood, nationality and enduring love.
A young woman attends a play about the Berlin Wall coming down and is the only Black person in the audience.
She is sitting with her boyfriend by a bathing lake and four neo-Nazis show up.
In New York, she witnesses Trump's election victory in a strange hotel room and later awakes to panicked messages from friends.
Engaging in a witty question and answer with herself, the narrator looks at our rapidly changing times and tells the story of her family: her mother, who was a punk in East Germany and never had the freedom she dreamed of and her absent Angolan father. But in the background of everything is the memory of her twin brother, who died when they were nineteen.
Emotional and funny, Olivia Wenzel writes about loneliness and finding joy in life within the roles that society assigns you.
1000 Coils of Fear is a highly original novel both powerfully poetic and full of surprises.
