Der neue Roman von Nummer-1-SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin Ildikó von Kürthy: mitreißend, warmherzig und witzig. Ein lebenskluger Roman für und über Frauen, die aus dem Schatten treten, zerstörerische Beziehungen beenden und endlich die Bühne ihres eigenen Lebens erobern.Ein zerrissenes Foto bringt die Wahrheit ans Licht. Es ist die Momentaufnahme eines Verrats, der vier Schicksale miteinander verbindet, sie zusammenführt und mit den unbequemen Fragen der Lebensmitte konfrontiert: loslassen oder festhalten? Wer bin ich, wenn ich niemandem mehr gefallen will, und wo will ich hin, wenn ich mir von niemandem mehr sagen lasse, wo es langgeht? Ruth flieht mit dem Foto und ihrem viel zu großen Hund in die alte Villa der Großeltern. Dort trifft sie nach Jahren des Schweigens auf ihre Schwester, erkennt die Lüge, die sie entzweit, und das Verbrechen, das ihr Leben bestimmt hat. Sie schließt Rudi in ihr Herz, der sich im ersten Stock mit sanftmütiger Tapferkeit auf seinen Tod vorbereitet, aber vorher noch ein letztes Mal für Ordnung sorgen will. Sie begegnet Erdal, der unter Wechseljahresbeschwerden leidet und aus Versehen eine folgenschwere Entscheidung trifft, als er seine Cousine in die Villa einlädt. In schneller Abfolge gehen eine Nase und etliche Illusionen zu Bruch. Ruth tritt aus dem Schatten ihrer Vergangenheit. Und das Ende ist eigentlich erst der Anfang. «Ein Buch für alle, die Sehnsucht nach Freiheit haben!» Maria Furtwängler«Ildikó vermittelt in ihren Texten, wie auch im Leben, immer das berauschende Gefühl von Lebensfreude und Zuversicht. Sie nimmt sich ernst, aber nicht zu ernst. Sie wagt neue Wege und lädt uns dazu ein, sie zu begleiten. Ihre Botschaft: Lasst es uns probieren! Aufbruch und Neubeginn. Morgen kann kommen!» Bettina Böttinger

Was, wenn die primären Erfindungen der Menschheit nicht der Speer des Helden, sondern ein Korb mit wildem Hafer, ein Medizinbündel, eine Geschichte waren? In The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction (1986) entwirft Ursula K. Le Guin eine feministische Technologie­geschichte, die den kollektiven Lebensunter­halt ins Zentrum rückt und in den Tragebehält­nissen der Sammler*innen Werkzeuge für das Erzählen seltsam realistischer Fiktionen erkennt. Neue Texte und Bilder antworten auf Le Guins erzählerische Praxis des world-making durch Sammeln und Festhalten. --What if humanity's primary inven­tions were not the Hero's spear but rather a basket of wild oats, a medicine bundle, a story. Ursula K. Le Guin's 1986 essay The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction presents a feminist story of technology that centres on the collective sustenance of life, and reimagines the carrier bag as a tool for telling strangely realistic fictions. New writings and images respond to Le Guin's narrative practice of world­making through gathering and holding.

*A New Statesman and Daily Mail BOOK OF THE YEAR**Longlisted for the 2024 Women's Prize for Non-Fiction*'The best book I've ever read about motherhood' Jude Rogers, Observer'I kept scribbling in the margins: 'We need to know this stuff!'' Joanna Pocock, SpectatorA radical new examination of the transition into motherhood and how it affects the mind, brain and bodyDuring pregnancy, childbirth, and early motherhood, women undergo a far-reaching physiological, psychological and social metamorphosis.There is no other time in a human's life course that entails such dramatic change-other than adolescence. And yet this life-altering transition has been sorely neglected by science, medicine and philosophy. Its seismic effects go largely unrepresented across literature and the arts. Speaking about motherhood as anything other than a pastel-hued dream remains, for the most part, taboo.In this ground-breaking, deeply personal investigation, acclaimed journalist and author Lucy Jones brings to light the emerging concept of 'matrescence'. Drawing on new research across various fields - neuroscience and evolutionary biology; psychoanalysis and existential therapy; sociology, economics and ecology - Jones shows how the changes in the maternal mind, brain and body are far more profound, wild and enduring than we have been led to believe. She reveals the dangerous consequences of our neglect of the maternal experience and interrogates the patriarchal and capitalist systems that have created the untenable situation mothers face today.Here is an urgent examination of the modern institution of motherhood, which seeks to unshackle all parents from oppressive social norms. As it deepens our understanding of matrescence, it raises vital questions about motherhood and femininity; interdependence and individual identity; as well as about our relationships with each other and the living world.
