September 1980Mit geschlossenen Augen
Tagebuch
by Birgit Heiderich
Mit geschlossenen Augen: Tagebuch vom 2.8.1977 bis zum 29.5.1978. Neun Monate. Am Anfang die Trennung von einem Mann, am Ende die Übersiedlung aus dem ungebunden sich entfaltenden in ein geregeltes Arbeitsleben. Abschied, Trennung, Umzug von Bonn nach Tübingen. Das Tagebuch erzählt die Geschichte zahlreicher Beziehungen zu Männern und Frauen. Im Zentrum, offen und präsent, in der Fülle und in dem extremen Auf und Ab ihrer Gefühle die Verfasserin selber. Am wichtigsten ist die Artikulation dieser Gefühle. In deren dichtem Zusammenhang werden Erlebnisse, Geschichten, Beobachtungen notiert. Emotion dominiert – aber Birgit Heiderichs Tagebuch setzt sich aus einer Mehrzahl von Einstellungen zusammen. Es ist reich an Apercus und an Reflexionen über Liebe, Sehnsucht, Trauer, Verzweiflung, über Frausein, Weiblichkeit, aber auch über gesellschaftliche Differenzen, über den Wissenschaftsbetrieb, es enthält Beschreibungen und Gedichte. Als Tagebuch sind diese Aufzeichnungen ernstzunehmenden realistischen Romanen der Gegenwart vergleichbar. Birgit Heiderich schreibt zugänglich, klug, schonungslos auch sich selbst gegenüber, aber noch in dieser Schonungslosigkeit bleibt sie mitteilsam und verstehbar. Ein taumelig souveränes und lebendiges, ein schönes und durch seine Kraft Zuversicht vermittelndes Buch.

February 2012Das Wiesenhaus
Erzählung
by Christoph Schmitz
Im Körper von Johannes Schneider regiert der Krebs. Auch wenn seine Familie sich rührend kümmert, es besteht wenig Hoffnung. Er fürchtet sich vor dem, was kommt, und davor, daß nichts bleibt von ihm und seinem Leben. Im Schreiben geht er gegen die Angst und das Vergessen an und träumt sich zurück in seine Kindheit im Rheinischen, an einen geradezu mythischen Ort - ins Wiesenhaus. Hier blüht das Leben wie die Landschaft. Doch bringt der Blick zurück auch Verdrängtes ans Licht, unerwartet bekommt das Familienidyll erste Risse. Langsam, aber sicher schreibt Schneider sich voran, hin zur Wahrheit darüber, was damals wirklich geschah und wie er zu dem wurde, der er heute ist. Mit großer Empathie erzählt Christoph Schmitz von einem Mann, der sich erinnert, um eine Zukunft zu haben.
