Olivia Wenzel »1000 Serpentinen Angst«
in conversation with Jackie Thomae »Brüder«

Olivia Wenzel writes about origin and loss, about joy of life and loneliness. Angry and passionate, the protagonist of her novel looks at our time and also tells the story of her family. Jackie Thomae’s novel focuses on two German men whose lives could not be more different, although they were born in the same year, children of the same father who only left them his dark skin. – Two female authors who, in their current novels, address questions about their own identity: How do we become the people we are? And how do we relate to the roles that society ascribes to us?
