LIEBES ARSCHLOCH

In the organizer's words:

by Virginie Despentes | German by Ina Kronenberger and Tatjana Michaelis

Rebecca is a movie star, over fifty and still doing well in the business. And she is angry. The writer Oscar, 43 years old, recognized her by chance on the street and made a malicious post about her on Instagram. She responds publicly in return: "Dear asshole, I saw your post. You're like a pigeon pooping on my shoulder as it flies by. Now I just hope your kids get hit by a truck and you have to watch their death throes without being able to do anything and their eyes pop out of their sockets." But the beef with Rebecca is not the biggest problem Oscar has. The feminist, much younger blogger Zoé accuses him of harassing her during her time as his press officer. The accusation: sexualized abuse of power. Within a very short space of time, Oscar becomes the most prominent persona non grata on the internet. Initially, Rebecca, Oscar and Zoé only have two things in common: hatred for each other and loneliness in front of their computers during the pandemic. But gradually, as they write to each other again and again, an almost tender epistolary novel for the 21st century about friendship and fear, sex and drugs, dashed hopes and big dreams emerges.
