Other than usual I will review Fang Fang’s “Wütendes Feuer” in German because a publisher kindly provided me with a review copy of the book. However, you can find an English book review on the second page of this post. Die Originalveröffentlichung des Romans “Wütendes Feuer” von Fang Fang ist zwar schon einige Jahre her,…

Other than usual I will review Louisa Lorenz’ “Clit. Die aufregende Geschichte der Klitoris” in German because a publisher kindly provided me with a review copy of the book.

Book Review: Frauen Schulden Dir Gar Nichts von Florence Given
Other than usual I will review Florence Given’s “Women Don’t Owe You Pretty” in German today because a German publisher kindly provided me with a review copy of its German translation “Frauen Schulden Dir Gar Nichts”.

Book Review: Men Explain Things To Me by Rebecca Solnit
“Men Explain Things to Me” is a feminist essay collection by Rebecca Solnit named after her essay that became famous for describing the phenomenon of mansplaining. Besides mansplaining this anthology on feminism also covers a variety of other topics such as Virginia Woolf, sexualized violence and same-sex marriages. Knowing that it has become a beloved…
Book Review: The Vegetarian by Han Kang
I find it hard to write this review for “The Vegetarian” by Han Kang. I struggle to come up with an opinion about this book and I struggle to find the words – or rather I’m at a loss for words – to describe my reading experience. I listened to the audio book of “The…
Book Review: The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

So I’m happy to finally write a review for this special biography! I read “Bonjour Liberté” last month and I really enjoyed it. In her book Korbik chronicles…

Book Review: Save me the waltz by Zelda Fitzgerald
I’ve struggled to write this review for a while now and I procrastinated it again and again. Mainly because it’s been a while since I read “Save me the waltz” by Zelda Fitzgerald and also because when I read it on vacation, I devoured it in a day. So the details have become a little…
Book Review: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
I find it hard to find the right words, the right phrases to write this review. I’ve been trying to start it for a while now but somehow I feel like my words can’t do “Things Fall Apart” justice. I feel like I as a European with my limited eurocentric perspective might not be the…
