Manchmal reibe ich mich an den Gedanken dieser Autorin, aber das gerade mag ich auch an ihr. Und dann sind da Sätze, die so richtig rein knallen, wofür ich sie liebe. Anfangs dachte ich, wie öde, ein Email-Roman, aber dann hat es mich doch gepackt. Großes Kino.

I don’t agree with everything Despentes has to say, neither in her fiction nor in her nonfiction, but that’s also something I like about this author. She doesn’t make it too easy for you. But then there are sentences that really punch you in the face, thoughts that make me wanna jump up and shout: Yes! At the beginning of this book I thought, how boring, a novel in emails, but then it grabbed me. It can hurt, it can make you feel uncomfortable, but it’s great.
