At Ronja Roenne came last year’s no columnists. “Why me disgusts feminism” had a 24-year-old author in the “world” set out -. And unleashed a Shitstorm the net
Even when Bachmann Prize, was invited to the Roenne, was the pugnacious young writer ( “I am not a feminist. I am an egotist.”) attention. Now she has published her first novel. “We are coming” is classic pop literature: young people and the love, some sex, some drugs, memories of school time and above all depression and the question of meaning. The language is great, the plot not outstanding.
“We deeply knew unhappy relationships with tasteful interiors, you know the fear of the case [...] you might not know what to do with themselves, they were many ., far too many “life of protagonist Nora and her three friends Jonas, Leonie and Karl – or their three sexual partners, because Nora lives in a polyamorous relationship – is basically like that of all the others that have never had any major problems in life . than himself Actually, everything could be okay – and of course it is not
however Nora seems to have real problems.. Anyway, her childhood friend Maja died what Nora but refuses to admit quite. Memories of the past break of course it was repeatedly through, if only because they in therapy dealing with her life and on the advice of her therapist a diary of their daily lives (and their panic attacks) to write.
One can the novel thus read as a diary – actually went Roenne their debut and so on. “I knew that it is impossible to write a novel. So I started to write a fictional diary, “she said in an interview with” Edition F “.
In addition to the daily life of Nora provides Roenne their past and friendship with Maja. About those passages thinks Roenne: “I wrote it primarily to not write even a Berlin-Buch or a higher frustrated relationships.”
That is, however – the story of Maja that actually also a good suction developed or not – but the wearing of the novel. From Ronne describes the lives of young people in the city who have more or less demanding creative professions, you actually bourgeois existence at parties with orgies and coke break ( “Cocaine belongs to an era when Falco” Ganz Wien “sang and I was dead” ) yearn for never ending love, also make free time something with refugees, do not eat dead animals or even just yet and basically so stinklangweilig are like, what they do not want to be.
“My protagonists are not sympathetic to me, “says von Rönne this logically. The eternal narcissism these interchangeable Berlin Zombies meets the author very well. However, one can also wonder: so what? On the other hand: It’s just pop literature
From Ronne impresses with their observations, their laconic wit.. When she writes a ticket inspector “He looked a little when he does not even bother his CurryKing warm” everything has been said. When it says “The woman looked like someone who goes brunch like and his laptop” calls Schlepptop “. My friend stood by and looked like someone who puns as a “lug” funny place “, is rolled inwardly just through the eyes as the protagonist. And if Nora is in a bakery and thinks “The whole place did so as if transience kidding about you stopped laughing in the north here,” one remembers how a hundred was even in such stores, a bit incredulous, a bit wistfully.
“We are coming” is a smart debut with astute sentences. Many beautiful sentences do, however, still not really good novel.
