"Zeit der Monster"

Description

Presented by Thalia Do we need an apocalyptic novel like Şeyda Kurt's "Zeit der Monster" in this already overwhelmed time full of problems? Definitely yes! Because Şeyda Kurt sees the apocalypse not only as something bad, but also understands the term in its original meaning as revelation. The setting is a quarter, wild and damaged, but not abandoned. More and more people believe in an apocalypse, fueled by a prophecy circulating online. Sanya roams through this quarter, young, restless, with a pistol in her backpack. She is not alone. Around her stand the people of the quarter, where family and chosen kinship intertwine. Şeyda Kurt clearly states who she has written this novel for: "For all who feel that we must remain human amidst the chaos. And of course for everyone who loves great, magnificent, and also funny stories!" The journalist, stage author, and celebrated essayist Şeyda Kurt has written about love and hate. She calls her first novel "Zeit der Monster" a "thermometer with which I measure the fever dream called reality." Şeyda Kurt, born in 1992 and raised in Cologne-Kalk, is a writer, publicist, curator, and moderator. She has worked for ZEIT ONLINE and Deutschlandfunk Kultur, among others, and participated in the podcast "190220 – A Year After Hanau," which was awarded the Grimme Online Award. Her books "Radikale Zärtlichkeit. Warum Liebe politisch ist." and "Hass. Von der Macht eines widerständigen Gefühls" became bestsellers.
