Although currently the Catholic Church for sexual abuse of minors came into the twilight, such an abuse usually takes place within the family circle, in which children are defenseless against this violence. In 1986 when this subject was still a long way in the spotlight, appeared the first novel "The fear of love" Liane Dirks. From the perspective of four years of Anne, who is at the end of the novel 11 years old, we select the story of a childhood. The beginning of the novel already replaced from Betroffentheit. "Once a woman came vorbeigepflogen our window. I was very young, but I grade was watching when they flew. And then I learned that fly people can not. It landed with a dull bang on the stone tiles in the yard, and my mother said, which did not wanted to fly. The fall would have.

The girl four years old, is the first sexual Annnäherungsversuche of the father in a dream-laden images are told: "Sometimes at night, suddenly the dear moon before the butterfly net, I woke up, opened her eyes as the white moon face hung close to the net, looked like his dad and whispered good night ... " The father is hotel chef and a drunkard. He "loves raw meat and wild life, lush women and beer .." , in a dispute with the mother also flies once the porcelain. Has he made something, it throws its donor rolls into the street. So she goat of Hamburg to Barbados and then to Munich, Rothenburg, etc. The father is very fond of shows, of course, finally we experience the story from the perspective of the youngest daughter, and of course she loves her father, the storyteller, the stories in his wake at night makes the dolls that talk then walk, laugh and cry, rant and bill. Reckoning with how the doll mum has treated them during the day. The mother has sad eyes like Ingrid Bergman, it has life differently. Not only one life between building and tearing off of beds and tents. The father always brings his daughters to bed. is very successful in this novel, the viewing angle from the perspective of the youngest daughter. This is how the reader only that which tells us the perspective of this girl, and as she understands his environment. This friendly father, who obviously knows intimately with his daughters as his wife, this drunkard of Koch, who ingratiated himself into the souls of children in order to commit sexual abuse, insidious is going on, very slowly, step by step. The mother wants "to cover the shame" also the pastor, the trust the children to tell of the shame is different, and evaporates, because he is uncomfortable. The daughters live with the pressure to do something forbidden, because they have been shouldering guilt be. "I do not not know if I want to see angels, I'm a bad child who does illegal things." Read So are just 140 pages. But what for whom.
Liane Dirks Wrong Heaven three years before the disaster in Copenhagen, the convention appeared "Wrong Heaven" by Liane Dirks. Life in the climate crisis. The thermometer 40 ° beyond the border, ozone levels at dizzying heights, bungee jumpers plunge into the depths of absurd, absurd, yes, because the reader does not know why they do that also are exposed to ozone rigorously. They fall from dizzying heights at the window 18th Floor by where behind the window glass writes her diary, her writing life to somehow get a grip on, something to hold on life so that it gets even make any sense. For months, this heat, before hurricanes, Europe in the mud, because lakes were turned into seas. Now there is hardly anything Essse, the woman does not have cucumbers in stock, her daughter wanders around in empty streets. The woman is visited by several friends, also from Donati, who once had a puppet theater, an actor was, but now not caring even for his child that he can be as bad for too long under the deadly sunlight. With the woman he sleeps with a temperature of 37 °, ozone: 394 This will probably soon be her last tango before the excruciating heat and ozone, the fucking her life perhaps one could make farewell.
"Still. The world tends her skeleton to the east." I liked not at the novel, not because I'm such a 'laconic sentences as they weave through the novel, does not like but because they create sentences no internal stress, is to say, I do not guessed it possible to heat , even from the threat posed by the climate crisis, not a breath can be felt. The language of this novel is verskelettitiert, I do not feel any lower dimensions between the lines. Only weak, clear images graze my imagination. The characters completely colorless, no characters. And that's really true. I wonder how one can write only as a novel, particularly since no substantive rigor is also to be found. It is a disaster. The characters seem so bleak and lifeless, as though scorched by the heat even the flesh of her bones. course you can always come up with defenses, the author has deliberately written so mean, because it describes a sparse brittle world. Since I'm not sure, since Cormac McCarthy could represent a post-apocalyptic world unkarg, and it was still pretty menacing. Literature has also somehow always be beautiful, even if it is sparse, which will be described. I'm assuming that this novel was a slip of the author. Her first novel "The love fear" (applies to Kiepenheuer & Dry) "as a standard reference on the subject of sexual abuse."
John Steinbeck: The Pastures of Heaven Richard Whiteside reads his son often from Herodotus, Thucydides and from Xenophon's "Anabasis" before. "Everything has to be done to mankind is capable, in these three volumes recorded. The love and hate, the stupid falsehood and short-sightedness, heroism and greatness and sadness the human race -. everything you find in here " tale is told by the people in the valley of the sky, not a valley in Karlifornien, far from Salinas where John Steinbeck was born, the valley so beautiful that when. had it once looked, the request was stirring to stay there forever. The valley as a haven for people who long for a beautiful life. But what are the people, the father of his son in the ancient Greek historians had read, in a valley as "The Valley of Heaven", will not deprive the people suffering. Characteristic of this are already the circumstances, such as the Valley was discovered. Around the year 1776, which is Carmelo Mission of Alta California established. Some flee Indians who do not accept the new religion out of their huts, but recaptured by the military. On the way back to camp it happens, the column startled a young deer, which then takes flight, disappears behind a hill crest. can have the Kopral the desire to follow the animal and drives his horse, by holly and cactus hochzureiten the hill above the Koporal arrived on behalf of Christian mission to throw the first man on earth, a glimpse into the wonderful valley, long stretched green pastures on the deer graze peacefully, and the corporal cries delightedly: "Holy Mother of God ... this is truly the valley of heaven, the Lord has promised us." is now inhabited the valley for generations, houses, farms, a school. "The Valley of Heaven" can not help the people to a peaceful life. They create illusions and become locked in struggle, in suffering. A fate after another joins. Steinbeck has prompted some to grow up mentally retarded children in the valley leave. I wonder why? Here, of course, be speculated particular varied. Healthy people are not cope with their lives because they have their own characteristics. Why should it sick then do better? There are certain unabwindbare fates, of course, anyway, meet the people in the valley of the sky some very unique choices, furrow another dark gap in her life as wife Deventer, which it obviously mentally ill child will not want to send a specialist, because they therefore reckoned that their child was going to a nursing home. She wants to keep her daughter for himself. Of course this is a selfish motive, the selfishness of the mother goes to the child's health. Mother love can go strange ways, the consequence of our history is hard. Then there will prohibit it by the farmers Shark, who claims to make good money transactions, and finally broke, and his daughter, to meet with men. His life to set up a bogus building, what is that? particularly touched me the fate of Junius Maltby, who lives very impoverished and neglected in the valley, which is due to his laziness of people hated almost already, your house and yard in wretched condition, he is a diligent reader and his son from "Treasure Island" aloud. Junius Maltby is doing well, he has nothing to complain about, because of company pressure, but converts and moves to San Francisco in order to lead a civil life, while also thinking about the future of his son. Sun weaves a John Steinbeck fate dance, leaves many figures passing by. A familiar form of the novel who does not Steinbeck. In each chapter, another life is presented. A good choice I think the chapters are combined but still, because some characters appear as minor characters here and there again. In this way, John Steinbeck weaves into human life and puts it on a patch of earth. Wonderful. advised 
Mark Twain: bang head Wilson praise hymn to a blast head Mark Twain in 1894, was first published final novel, "Wilson head bang," forgotten, is the 100th Death appeared again, and we look towards the same times as the novel is on American, ah ... "Pudd'nhead Wilson, "said üngefähr called the" slush lamp "would have been even funnier than" bang head, "but we will stay with bang head, as David Wilson about the year 1830, when he had still been no mud bulb into the Mississippi small Kaff Dawson's Landing and came through a quirky strange statement to the people only as bang head went through the titling would have kept his life, he would not be through a process that Sherlock Holmes would have been deeply impressed, become a hero, and Sherlock Holmes in anyway Neide would have been pale, head bang because Wilson already had mastered the technique of fingerprinting, which is not officially invented , was only "in Francis Galton's" fingerprints "(Finger Prints, London 1892) presented to the public," as we educate the epilogue by Manfred Pfister, the people of Dawson's Landing all this but schnurzegal they hiellten but Wilson's collection of fingerprints for childish and foolish, until they stop about twenty years later, when attorney David bang head Wilson led his ingenious process, then there are so looked the same, has David Wilson was never in itself been a blast head, but the mud pears rather the people running around, Mark Twain is on such a speculation, as it dawned on me just in the brain but repektvoll concealed, David Wilson as they had somehow but in fact respected, but his career as Rechtsanwal long time had been squandered, and it had only a miracle until all prejudices were smashed against the alleged crack head. What else is going on "Dawson's Landing was a slaveholding town" , the mulatto Roxana there enslaved in the house of a white man to raise two babies had Tom was theirs, Chambers that of their Lord, and now comes just the highlight of the whole: Roxana was considered a black woman, although she looked phenotypically white, blond and blue-eyed lured her child, so the Tom looked as white as Chambers, and their rule because they are the children anyway, not just watched, Roxana so the children easily swap was because you Tom, who was considered a Negro, and later should not be sold to the South, the southern states namely Roxana prepared a terrible discomfort, since there the slavery was much more brutal, wanted to spare this fate her son, replace Roxana the babies so only the clothes needed in this way Tom to Chambers was and Chambers to Tom, why the child of the rule was sent into slavery, Roxana's white-skinned Negro child was allowed to live as a free person, but this was not without problems of place because Chambers, who was now called Tom, Roxana very pampered and spoiled, was as an adult was a reckless, ruthless man, in front of his brother, who was but the white, imperious performed in the life of Tom was otherwise slovenly and indebted. On the basis of the baby swap winds together an act that outrageous, just unbelievable, is in the Mark Twain, and illustrating also express again the plot of the story, would that not be the origin of a person for the development of critical but the socialization as a man grows up. With the baby swap out Twain racism and slavery into the absurd, also because Roxana and her baby look white
"Actually, Roxy was as white as could be." epilogue It is now impossible to discern whether Wilson bang head, or Roxana and Tom are the main characters. All are equally important for the novel, however, Wilson, and I find that odd, slides out for a long time in the novel, and later reappears. Although the novel's action is the last logical angle to the building, so no slating is to be expected, the structure of the novel is to question that. It is better to set scenic, not the thread from the eye is allowed because the scenes to build on each other, but I will leave the impression that the novel is too fragmented. The other, and I do not know if Mark Twain makes that more so decisive actions to be told very briefly aligned, the voltage is driven only at the end point, the novel therefore leaves a mixed impression, but discord, and Doppelgängerei at Mark Twain, however, nothing unusual, and can stretch easily a form of bang head to the hero, is to be made of white black and vice versa. The Wilson, who's not exactly a gematschte Pear writes in an amusing almanac / calendar, the taste of the reader can read. Including conflicting: "Why do we look forward to a birth and grieve at a funeral because we are not the person at issue
bang head Wilson calendar?."
