Vera Zischke: Pina Is Out of Action
Neues aus der Gegend
The “New From the Region” series showcases exciting new releases from authors from the Ruhr region. This time with bestselling author Vera Zischke! After exploring the topic of motherhood in her debut “Ava Awakens”, now she writes about solidarity in Pina Is Out of Action. It is the story of how the disparate residents of a building must pull together when Pina collapses one day in the middle of an intersection. Her son Leo is 20 and lives in a world of his own: In the morning, he won’t get out of bed until a green bubble rises in his lava lamp. When he walks upstairs, he does it in his own rhythm: always two steps forward and one step back. With Pina in the intensive care unit, her neighbors overcome their initial shock and begin to look after Leo. “This is a human, empathetic, utopian glimpse of what society could be” (Eat.Read.Sleep. podcast).
