Various: Birds, Strangers and Psychos

Birds, Strangers and Psychos

Climates – Cultures – Contexts

Der Idylle wird traditionell der Blick in ein (vergangenes) ideales oder fiktives Goldenes Zeitalter zugeschrieben. Nicht nur in der Literaturgeschichte, sondern auch in aktuellen Analysen arkadisch konfigurierter Texte entsteht daher oft der ernüchternde Eindruck, die Idylle sei auf Eskapismus und Flucht aus dem Alltag festgelegt. Die Beiträger*innen räumen mit diesem Vorurteil auf und zeigen, warum es sich lohnt, gerade die Idyllen zu beleuchten, die diesem regressiven Moment nicht folgen. Dazu arbeiten sie die produktiven Impulse dieser Zukunftsentwürfe für aktuelle ökologische, politische und soziale Krisen heraus und analysieren progressive Idyllen in unterschiedlichen Medien.

Adrift

A man with a deadly past marries into the perfect, respectable family in this riveting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh . . . A woman buried. A woman broken. A woman crashed. A woman burned. And the man who knew them all. Love at first sight, a whirlwind Vegas wedding, a fairy-tale romance. For seventy-nine days, Tavish Advani has been the happiest man in the world-until his new life turns to ash, his wealthy in-laws' house going up in a fiery explosion. His badly injured wife lies in a coma, her family all but annihilated. Tavish thought he left the sins of his Los Angeles life behind, but it's not so easy to leave behind an investigation into the deaths of several high-profile women-all of whom he professed to love. Tragedy and death follow him no matter where he goes . . . but this time, he knows he's innocent. Desperately trying to clear his name as the authorities zero in, he begins his own investigation into the fire-and learns that his wife's picture-perfect family may have been nothing but a meticulously constructed mirage. The truth is much darker than anything Tavish could've imagined . . .

Such a Perfect Family

Mit ihren konzeptuellen Fotografien und experimentellen Kurzfilmen hat sich Friedl Kubelka - als Filmemacherin ab 2009 Friedl vom Gröller - international einen Namen gemacht. Kaum bekannt ist allerdings, dass sie seit Beginn ihres künstlerischen Schaffens um 1970 auch zeichnet und malt.
Entstanden sind mehr als 100 Zeichnungen und Gouachen, die bislang kaum öffentlich zu sehen waren. Diese kleinformatigen phantastisch-realistischen Arbeiten auf Papier zählen zu den persönlichsten der Künstlerin: Intim, detailreich und überraschend bunt erzählen sie von Leben, Tod, Liebe, Lust, Eifersucht, Isolation, Freude und auch Ausgelassenheit.
Der Katalog präsentiert eine Auswahl der Arbeiten auf Papier sowie einige Kurzfilme und versammelt Kurzbeiträge internationaler Autor*innen zu den Gouachen.

Text: Salvador Amores, Magdalena Arau, Pierre Bal-Blanc, Naz Dinçel, Friedl Kubelka, Christine Macel, Andréa Picard, Stefanie Reisinger, Stella Rollig, Dietmar Schwärzler, Alena J. Williams.

Splitterschreie

Hidden Norfolk Murder Mystery

What would you do to keep your past a secret? When the mutilated remains of a woman are retrieved by local fishermen, it falls to DI Tom Janssen and his team to identify how she came to be in the water and what put her there. Joined on the case by his new permanent boss, DCI Tamara Greave, it remains to be proven if the woman's death was a result of foul play or a tragic accident. The victim carried no means of identification, was poorly dressed for the winter and horribly disfigured when pulled from the water. As the case progresses old ghosts return to haunt those living in the present. Matters thought settled a long time ago face intense scrutiny... attention that some hoped would never come to pass. When childhood friends begin to question one another, suddenly the long-forgotten past comes to the fore. The misadventure of youth can have grave consequences. No matter how much time passes nor how deep you bury them, your sins will always return to haunt you. But who has the most to lose and what else are they willing to sacrifice in order to keep what they have? Is someone prepared to kill for their sins? Janssen must reveal and catch a killer without a conscience before they strike again... Set within the mysterious beauty of coastal Norfolk, this fast-paced British detective novel is a dark murder mystery with moments of humour, one that will keep you guessing until the very end when the final shocking twist is revealed. Kill Our Sins is the third novel in a new series of thrillers from the million-copy bestselling British crime writer, JM Dalgliesh, the author of the Dark Yorkshire books. Perfect for fans of LJ Ross, JD Kirk, Angela Marsons, Joy Ellis and Damien Boyd. Readers love J M Dalgliesh: 'Fantastic' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW 'The best detective series I've read' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW 'You can't put these books down' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW 'J M Dalgliesh never disappoints' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW 'Like watching Shetland on TV' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW 'So much tension' FIVE-STAR READER REVIEW

Mirage

Under the searing sun, secrets simmer and betrayal lies thick in this claustrophobic, explosive new thriller from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Richard &amp; Judy Book Club pick, Lie With Me. 'A real scorcher. You won't want to miss this one!' HARLAN COBEN 'Gloriously dark and wildly engrossing' LISA JEWELL 'Sun-drenched and dripping with suspense, this is the perfect summer read' LUCY CLARKE ---------- Former journalist Matt Grimshaw's life is at a low ebb. He's been 'let go' by the paper where he's worked for years, and his relationship with his long-term girlfriend has come unstuck. So when an invitation arrives from his two closest friends, Celia and Adam Murphy, to join them at their house in Greece, he jumps at it. It may be harsh and unwelcoming on the Mani Peninsula but Matt determines to stay there for the whole summer and to write his much put-off screen-play. But then the Murphys plus children arrive, and a wealthy newcomer to the area starts throwing loud and lavish parties in his big house across the bay. As the nights become hotter and the parties wilder, everyone's motivations darken. Envy rises, resentments grow - until a terrible accident stops the summer in its tracks. At least, it looks like an accident... Set over one blazing Mediterranean summer, Sabine Durrant's new thriller is tense, claustrophobic and utterly gripping. ---------- Praise for Dead Heat . . .

When You Looked Away

Seit über einem Vierteljahrhundert erfindet die 'Skeptikerin der sprachlichen Konvention' Anne Weber sich und ihr Ausdrucksmittel mit jedem Buch neu. Sie lauscht der Muttersprache Deutsch sowie dem für sie zur Heimat gewordenen Französisch die Tücken und Finessen ab, entdeckt im Alltag und Kleinen das jeweils Ungewöhnliche, Heroische, um all dem die Form zuteilwerden zu lassen, die ihm eignet. Was in weniger gewandten Händen womöglich einen flatterhaften Eindruck erwecken würde, wird bei Anne Weber zu einem unverkennbar eigenen, schillernden Fächer von Literatur als Möglichkeitsraum. Dazu braucht es nicht nur Neugierde und Entschlossenheit, es braucht vor allem, wie Anne Weber in ihren Reden und Essays über Literatur, Kunst und Sprache beweist, den Mut, das eigene Gewissen und Wissen beständig zu hinterfragen - denn nur so ist man imstande, den Standpunkt einzunehmen, von 'wo in weiter Ferne etwas Unergründliches zu sehen ist'.&nbsp;
 Ob in erzählender Form, in biografischen Annäherungen oder poetischen Essays - stets sucht Anne Weber nach jener Balance zwischen Nähe und Distanz, die Denken erst in Bewegung bringt. Ihr Band 
 Jumping Mouse
 ist eine Einladung, sich ihr dabei anzuschließen und zu erleben, wie Denken zur Form findet - und wie aus Sprache Welt wird.
