Sie lernt ihn kennen, als sie noch jung ist und er beinahe schon alt. Er, der berühmte Schriftsteller. Sie, die mit dem Schreiben gerade anfängt und Mutter einer kleinen Tochter ist. Sie wird seine Schülerin, seine Geliebte, seine Vertraute, und beide schwören, sich einander zuzumuten „mit allen Meisen und Absonderlichkeiten“. Eine Beziehung voller Lust und Hingabe und Heiterkeit.  Dann aber, als die Tochter mitten in der Pubertät steckt, erhält er eine Diagnose, die alles ändert. Die Beziehung wird zum Ausnahmezustand und sie von der Geliebten zur Pflegerin. Sie will helfen, sie hilft, doch etwas schwindet, ihr Lebensmensch entfernt sich, die Zeit der Abschiede beginnt. Und noch etwas: ein neues Leben. Katja Oskamp erzählt zärtlich und rückhaltlos von den Verwandlungen, die das Dasein bereithält, von brüchigen Lebensläufen, von den Rollen einer Frau und den Körpern in ihrer ganzen Herrlichkeit und Hässlichkeit.  Katja Oskamp, geboren 1970 in Leipzig, ist in Berlin aufgewachsen. Nach dem Studium der Theaterwissenschaft arbeitete sie als Dramaturgin am Volkstheater Rostock und studierte am Deutschen Literaturinstitut Leipzig. Bisher wurden von ihr der Erzählungsband Halbschwimmer und die Romane Die Staubfängerin und Hellersdorfer Perle veröffentlicht. 2019 erschien bei Hanser Berlin Marzahn, mon amour, für dessen englische Ausgabe sie 2023 zusammen mit der Übersetzerin den Dublin Literary Award erhielt.Mitschnitt der Lesung am 05.09.2024 in der Bezirkszentralbibliothek Mark Twain Berlin-Marzahn.Moderation: Renate ZimmermannDas Buch ist erschienen im Ullstein-Verlag.

City Lights celebrates the publication of "Blessings," a novel by Chukwuebuka Ibeh, published by Doubleday. Purchase here: https://citylights.com/blessings/ Obiefuna has always been the black sheep of his family—sensitive where his father, Anozie, is pragmatic, a dancer where his brother, Ekene, is a natural athlete. But when Obiefuna's father witnesses an intimate moment between his teenage son and another boy, his deepest fears are confirmed, and Obiefuna is banished to boarding school. As he navigates his new school's strict hierarchy and unpredictable violence, Obiefuna both finds and hides who he truly is. Back home, his mother, Uzoamaka, must contend with the absence of her beloved son, her husband's cryptic reasons for sending him away, and the hard truths that they've all been hiding from. As Nigeria teeters on the brink of criminalizing same-sex relationships, Obiefuna's identity becomes more dangerous than ever before, and the life he wants drifts further out of reach. Set in post-military Nigeria and culminating in the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act of 2013, "Blessings" is an elegant and exquisitely moving story that asks how to live freely in a country that forbids one's truest self, and what it takes for love to flourish despite it all. Chukwuebuka Ibeh is a writer from Port Harcourt, Nigeria, born in 2000. His writing has appeared in McSweeney's, New England Review of Books and Lolwe, amongst others, and he is a staff writer at Brittle Paper. He was the runner-up for the 2021 J.F. Powers Prize for Fiction, was a finalist for the Gerald Kraak Award, and was profiled as one of the “Most Promising New Voices of Nigerian Fiction” by Electric Literature.

Welcome to this week's True Fiction Project Podcast. Today, I have the honor of speaking with Sonali Dev, Best Selling Indian American Romance Novelist and author of her new book, The Vibrant Years. The Vibrant Years is the first book released by actress Mindy Kaling's new publishing imprint, Mindy's Book Studio. Sonali's book describes the everyday world of Indian American women. Using her storytelling magic to explore deeper questions about women's self-reliance and the fight for empowerment by underrepresented, often unheard voices.     Sonali talks about the way of life from past generations to her daughter's generations, noting the differences in choices available to each generation. Sonali discusses the brave choice immigrants make to migrate, whether the choice comes from wanting to seek adventure and exploration, or through necessity or tragedy. At the end of the episode, listen to an excerpt of The Vibrant Years, where we follow Cullie, Alisha and Bindu, three generations of Indian American women, discuss the modern dating scene and walk the precarious line between traditional expectations and twenty-first century aspirations.      IN THIS EPISODE:  [3:03] What did Sonali mean by the title The Vibrant Years?  [6:33] What does Sonali mean by the fact that women can now live the way they want?  [11:13] How would the story have been different if the characters didn't come from a family of immigrants?    [14:34] How are women conditioned to believe things and being told what to do?  [17:56] Was Sonali's book inspired by real-life circumstances?   [23:32] How her grandma's life and experiences played into her book.  [29:52] Why did Mindy Kaling choose to release this book under her imprint?  [32:23] An excerpt from The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev.  KEY TAKEAWAYS:  This generation has the choice to do a variety of things that the previous generation didn't have the ability to choose from. The opportunities available are double-edged on if they are for the better or not.   An immigrant has an inherent value to adventure, a sense of restlessness, and a belief that they can change their life if they choose. Their hearts are in their choices.   An author's real-life experiences can often be found in their fiction writing. Many aspects of The Vibrant Years tied in to things that Sonali had gone through or that her grandmother's experienced.     Fiction Credits:  Story written and read by: Sonali Dev  BIO:  USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev writes Bollywood-style love stories that explore universal issues. Her novels have been named Best Books of the Year by Library Journal, NPR, the Washington Post, and Kirkus. She has won numerous accolades, including the American Library Association's award for best romance, the RT Reviewer Choice Award for best contemporary romance, multiple RT Seals of Excellence, has been a RITA® finalist, and has been listed for the Dublin Literary Award. Shelf Awareness calls her “Not only one of the best but one of the bravest romance novelists working today.” Sonali lives in Chicagoland with her husband, two visiting adult children, and the world's most perfect dog.

About Sue: Sukoluhle ‘Sue' Nyathi is a writer by passion and an investment analyst by profession. Sue has written three novels – The Polygamist (2012), The GoldDiggers (2018) and A Family Affair (2020). The GoldDiggers was longlisted for the Barry Ronge Fiction Award and the Dublin Literary Award, while A Family Affair has been longlisted for the Humanities and Social Sciences Award. She also contributed to Black Tax: Burden or Ubuntu? (2019) and Hair: Unpicking and Weaving stories of Identity (2019). Sue lives in Johannesburg. About Sara-Jayne: Sara-Jayne King is a South African journalist and author, whose career spans more than a decade and has taken her across the globe in search of extraordinary people with remarkable stories. About When Secrets Become Stories: She was asking for it. She should have known better. Bekezela (persevere), she was told. It's because I love you, he said. It's not that bad, she told herself. In sharing their experiences from girlhood to the boardroom, from Cape Town's suburbs to the hills of KwaZulu-Natal, women from different walks of life show how chillingly common male violence against women is. Together, their voices form a deafening chorus. Gender-based violence feeds on shame and silence but in this extraordinary collection, brave women reclaim their power and summon the courage in others to do the same. In speaking out, sharing what was once secret, shame's hold is broken. With contributions by Lorraine Sithole, Desiree-Anne Martin, UCT vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng, Shafinaaz Hassim, Cathy Park Kelly and Olivia Jasriel, who as a child was sexually abused by tennis star Bob Hewitt. Heart-rending at times, it is the honesty and courage of the writing that truly inspires.

In sharing their experiences from girlhood to the boardroom, from Cape Town's suburbs to the hills of KwaZulu-Natal, women from different walks of life show how chillingly common male violence against women is. Together, their voices form a deafening chorus. Gender-based violence feeds on shame and silence but in this extraordinary collection, brave women reclaim their power and summon the courage in others to do the same. In speaking out, sharing what was once secret, shame's hold is broken. With contributions by Lorraine Sithole, Desiree-Anne Martin, UCT vice-chancellor Mamokgethi Phakeng, Shafinaaz Hassim, Cathy Park Kelly and Olivia Jasriel, who as a child was sexually abused by tennis star Bob Hewitt. Heart-rending at times, it is the honesty and courage of the writing that truly inspires.
