What’s the weirdest job you had before writing? working about 15 hours a month, which is what I did for years. There’s no way I could have survived in the U.S. But anyway, I stayed on because rent was so cheap in relation to what I could make translating. But I wish I’d done zoology or geography or sociology or something else interesting. I went to Tübingen on a student visa and eventually got a doctorate in Media Studies. I first came to Germany as a tourist in 1983 and immediately started learning German, but I didn’t live here until 2000. What is your relationship to Germany? Why did you decide to stay? I get aggressive after a couple of days fighting through crowds. I don’t live in Berlin simply because I don’t like living in big cities. The people coming to Berlin are not coming here to be hippie freaks. What is your take on the city and why did you choose not to live in it?īerlin is also changing! People are getting sleeker and fluffier every day. In your first novel The Wallcreeper y ou describe Berlin as an ugly place where nobody is “sleek or fluffy”. At a lot of festivals they try to get a really diverse group of writers and then they have nothing to talk about! Very promising about this festival is that it has a theme they’re getting together writers with an interest in nature writing. The best ones are the ones where the writers have something in common. What are your thoughts on literature festivals? Here is a short synopsis of the book:ġ940. I ended up really enjoying it, particularly the narration and have gone on to read another of Kate Quinn’s books, The Alice Network since. I actually came across The Rose Code by chance, I was scrolling through Instagram and shown an ad for it, it sounded interesting and so I decided to check out the audiobook! Never say targeted ads don’t work eh? Anyway, it’s no secret that I love women’s history, so naturally, a story about female codebreakers in WWII was always going to be right up my alley. BECHDEL TEST: PASS-Mab, Osla and Beth have multiple conversations that don’t revolve around men.Ĭontent Warnings: Death, bombing depictions, parental abuse, patient abuse, incidence of using a straightjacket, vomiting, sexual assault, blood, description of lobotomies, alcoholism, infidelity, PTSD, racial slurs, sexist slurs, grief depictions, war themes, forced institutionalisation Honestly, I wish the author would return to this story and really flesh it out, work on it with a structural editor or someone to develop the plot and characters. Desmond’s freakishly powerful and pisses off too many people. The characters aren’t the jerks they seem to be, and they’re not as virtuous as they act like either. The story (or lies) start to unravel, and by the halfway point, the story takes a dramatic turn. Perhaps the main character would fall in love with his new boss. At the beginning, the plot seemed so innocent, just another story about office politics but with a paranormal element. Actually, figuring the plot felt like a mystery unto itself. If it weren’t for the writing, it would’ve been a fascinating story.Īlthough the storytelling could’ve been better, it didn’t stop me from figuring out the plot. But after I read through the entire book, I thought the plot is complex and the characters aren’t just black and white. The writing style is disjointed, and the reader needs to put together the puzzle pieces to figure out what the author’s trying to say. I remember picking up this book a while ago, reading the first chapter, getting sort of confused, and then putting it back down.
