Description
"Das Buch der Stunde für alle Untröstlichen. »Wie geht es Dir?« Als Johanna von Max, ihrem alten philosophischen Lehrer, eine Postkarte mit dieser scheinbar harmlosen Frage erhält, bricht es aus ihr hervor: die Trauer über den Tod ihrer Mutter, die Wut, dass man ihr im Krankenhaus verwehrt hat, die Sterbende zu begleiten. Provoziert durch weitere Postkarten, beginnt Johanna, sich den Dämonen hinter ihrer Verzweiflung zu stellen.In einem einzigartigen Postkarten-Briefroman erzählt die Literatin und Philosophin Thea Dorn von den vielleicht größten Themen, die der gottferne, von seinen technologischen Möglichkeiten berauschte Mensch verdrängt: von der Auseinandersetzung mit der Endlichkeit, von der Suche nach Trost in trostlosen Zeiten." -- ""How are you?" When Johanna receives a postcard with this seemingly harmless question, from Max, her old philosophy teacher, she breaks into grief over her mother's death, the anger over her being denied accompanying her dying mother in the hospital. As she gets more postcards, Johanna begins to face the demons behind her despair. In a unique postcard-letter novel, the writer and philosopher Thea Dorn writes about the search for consolation in desolate times." --
