Jackie Thomae erzählt in «Glück» von Frauen, who has everything, nur kein Kind

Berlin-Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg – it is the Berliner Stadtteile, in the area of ​​the former young families with an ecological one-wall-free policy and a more correct political gesinnungwohnen. If we see the Roman literature of the last years as Anschauung Nehmen, the city will present a woman with a big problem, for the man in the prekären-vierteln now an Achselzucken-chapter.

Jackie Thomae thought that in his Roman times, in these cliché-laden regions and in his characters with all his confrontations, he was so light with Sarcasm. So if you in the «Glück» an unhealthy lastenfahrräder, on a croissant buyer, who does not care for himself in the usual bakery shops, among the bread manufacturers, and on a «Zombiearmee des Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability», will find, this is a «spassbefreite Richtigmacherei» geht.

Thomaes protagonists are involved in the environment, but they do not represent money. Marie-Claire Sturm is an Angesehene Rundfunkmoderatorin, who has the broader standards of the broadcast, with some TV formats in her television programs. Anahita Martini has thought that the Lehrerin has not received any sour power and that politics has produced a new power: she is a senator for Bildung, Jugend and Familie and a candidate for the European Parliament. Both are a dream and a challenge as childless singles through their English life.

Running against the biological clock

Jackie Thomae has done the first Schein trick, which describes the paradox of the great Alltagsbewältigung-blosszustellen, even more Berlin-Roman geschrieben. Vielmehr said that the Roman woman was in a lebensalter, if they wanted children, unnoticed a means of separation. The mothers, one of the young partners they have found, were, while Marie-Claire was aware of the sales dates, and a little less childless women, who received a deprivation of life, not hoffen.

Who weiterleben, als de biological uhr immer lauter tickt, als Frauen else als de bis in hohe Alter zeugungsfähigen Manner Zeitdruck spüren, das Wort «Risikoschwangerschaft» über in kreist and sie über all methods nachdenken, but nor Mutter would become? Jackie Thomae deals with all these themes – including gender differences – and the brilliant attention of women, one of the novels receives a streitschrift voor machen.

«Glück» is, in its best passages, a piece, even though the book is heavy, the unjustified elements of the Art zur Sprache brings, even though there are many figures – Manner plays nur Nebenstromen – in your Unsicherheit en Fehlbarkeit say. A not brilliant text, if there is stylistic elegance and a clear dialogue between the media and political culture. Anahita’s Alltag is the best choice, the Fallstricke of the Wahlkampfs with girls and jedes Wort abzuwägen.

If you are on a talk show, but still a little criticized, “man can not for your private outing the politics responsible make”, weiss immediately, from which she has a shitstorm to warn. While journalists wonder how Anahita in her career deals with the «Details of their heart of the displaced», while the migration history occurs.

View into the future

Jackie Thomae has written and knitted with «Glück» a Roman story that it is delightful that it remains unnoticed and schauplätze out. So if you are in the family Anahita’s, you die one of the many bruder Reza and your Frau Lydia opulente Feste feiert. Or if Marie-Claires Grossmutter and his Zwillingswester have the jury in his midst, with an end to the last comments.

Nothing could be further from the truth, because Jackie Thomae has no idea, Marie-Claire is exclusive, by a friend who organizes Workshop-Retreat in the middle lake. If you have a natural childhood disease and a fundamental technique of the ‘Embody Breath’ or the ‘Psychotropic Breath’, the payment will be summarized more clearly: ‘The people were mad then, under the explanation that zu tun, was jeden Augenblick ihres gesamten Lebens toch taten, atmen.»

Everything is, not a fragment, sufficient and with Witz erzählt and weist aber auch Längen and a Überzahl von Nebenfigures auf. But all these roads and riverways in the second part of the Romans, of which – je nach Lesart – utopian or dystopian Züge are destroyed. Etwa three years since the past. At a Wissenschaftskongress, and the Marie-Claires inheritance Ärztin Henriette Nonnenmacher (Achtung: Sprechender Name) teilnimmt, a revolutionary Entwicklung was presented, a Frauen with childish desire with his dilemma to liberate.

The alternative treatment is probably a fact, the menopause is a historical phenomenon of machen and a medicine, the new pill, which will undergo the treatment, is the “judicial decision of the judge, which will be considered”. While he in one of the most celtic way fruitbarkeit-zaubermittel, his Frauen erlaubt, Zeit zu gewinnen and the “fehlerhafte Konstrukt” in hours of customers to buy. Marie-Claire came from Mittel, as from the Ärztin überwachte Testperson.

«Glück» is not a leader with those strangely uncanny congress features. Statutory easement man nor of Rebekka, Marie-Claires Schwester, who schickt her boyfriend in the Wüste, or of affairs, the freshly backed EU Abgeordnete Anahita with an inherited university colleague. Oh well, then that’s a Romantic story with a happy ending. It is definitely no longer necessary.
