Christian Baron »Drei Schwestern«

Moderated by: Cornelia Geißler

The three sisters in Christian Baron's new novel long for the great freedom that was a sweet promise in West Germany in the 1980s. Mira wants to break out of the constraints of her proletarian parental home, politicizes herself and dreams of being a poet. Juli protects and patronizes Mira, but she forgets to find her own way. Ella has achieved social advancement through marriage and wonders whether her sisters shouldn't be able to lead a self-determined life - when everything seems to be possible? At the end of his Kaiserslautern trilogy, Christian Baron tells of a world that promises women everything, but against whose invisible walls the three sisters from "simple backgrounds" in class society must constantly struggle.
