Ella Carina Werner

Menopause turbo break

It's now or never! Satirist Ella Carina Werner finally fulfills a long-cherished dream: she forms a feminist punk band with her best friends. "Menopause Turbosause" is set to shake up the still patriarchal scene - but groupies, fame and fortune will only come if they land their first gig ... In order not to take off completely, the mother of three slips off to her children's parents' evenings, to a greedy bank advisor and learns to parry compliments from strange men with ice-coldness. Strung together, the stories from Ella Carina Werner's new book exude the charm of a fast-paced sitcom and unfold their full impact when read live - approachable, accurate and brutally funny.

"Menopause Turbosause" will be published on 13.09.26 by Kunstmann Verlag
Ella Carina Werner, born in 1979, grew up in Westphalia as the daughter of a belly dancer and a psychotherapist, and when she's on stage today, it's a mixture of both. As co-editor of "Titanic", she is one of the most accomplished and funniest satirists in Germany. Her highly acclaimed bestseller "Der Hahn erläutert unentwegt der Henne, wie man Eier legt. Feminist animal poems". In her acclaimed autobiographical stories, which "sound like Kafka after a good joint" (Spiegel Online), she talks about Asian sex tourists on the Reeperbahn, her love of night train rides, whisky tastings and the ideal funeral. When she's not reading aloud, she chats about everything from her rural childhood to world politics and the pros and cons of polyamory.
