Kirsten Fuchs: Muttermund tut Wahrheit kund

Kirsten Fuchs is a master of serious nonsense. She can feel her way in and out of everyone and everything. Fuchs is a person of the heart and that's what makes her stories so human, comforting and true. She writes so funny about really everything, as if it wasn't about what happens, but how you look at it. She still sees everything through rose-smudged glasses with scratches, but now she also has tinnitus that calls "cuckoo".

"Her texts are extremely funny. And clever. And full of nasty little truths about us and the world."
Marc-Uwe Kling

Kirsten Fuchs, born in 1977 in Karl-Marx-Stadt (now Chemnitz), won the prestigious Open Mike literary competition in 2003.

The novel became a bestseller and the sequel "Mädchenmeuterei" was published in 2021. In 2022, Kirsten Fuchs was awarded the W.-G.-Sebald-Literaturpreis.
