das poetische fließen dieser geschriebenen schrift wie wasser hat mich zutiefst inspiriert und flüsse in mir zum fließen gebracht, von denen ich nicht wusste, dass sie existieren.

"die familienmenschen ertrinken im schein der ikea küchenlampen,
ihre träume ertrinken in den kürbissuppentellern,
die mütter ertrinken in ihrem kinderglück,
die väter ertrinken in ihren hellblauen hemden,
in den orchideenblauen hemden.
sind die eigentlich mit lebensmittelfarbe angemalt?
die väter
die abendessen
die einfamilienhäuser
damit sie aussehen wie väter, wie abendessen, wie einfamilienhäuser?
sind das eigentlich lebendige?"

"I can only write about you when I am in a body of my own;
I can only love you
from afar"

Sie hat mich gemacht, damit jemensch sie bedingungslos liebt. Und wenn sie stirbt, dann sterbe ich auch. Ich musste Meer am Leben halten mit meinem winzigen Leben.

Es ist ein interessantes Buch und ich kann sehen, wieso es verschiedene Literaturpreise gewonnen hat. Es hat mich nicht gepackt und ich habe es eher etwas langsam gelesen.
Die Schriftart wirkt nicht gekünstelt sondern echt und treffend.

Wie auch schon viele andere angesprochen haben ist die Sprache zum Teil sehr vulgär. Dies hat mich zwischendurch aus der Geschichte gerissen. Ich bin mir jedoch sicher, dass diese Teile einfach ins Buch gehören und auch wegen ihrem Schockfaktor dort sind.

Alles in allem ist es ein Buch bei dem am Ende vieles Sinn macht und erklärt wird. Für mich existiert das Buch einfach und es könnte nicht anders existieren. Es ist ein Buch, dass langsam gelesen werden muss und es ist eindeutig keine leichte Kost.
