Anne Sauer: "Im Leben nebenan"

Anne Sauer presenterà il 5 novembre il suo romanzo attuale “Nella vita della porta accanto”. Maria-Christina Piwowarski modera la serata.

Sul libro:
Una mattina Toni non si sveglia accanto al suo fidanzato di lunga data nel suo vecchio appartamento, come al solito, perché il pavimento scricchiola e i vicini sono troppo rumorosi. No. Con suo grande stupore, si ritrova in un appartamento spazioso. Tutto è luminoso, ordinato, arredato in modo costoso. E la vista dalla finestra? Stranamente familiare. Antonia capisce: è tornata nel paese della sua infanzia. Little by little she learns that she leads a tranquil life here, civilly organized, with a car in front of the door, mother-in-law next door and child on her lap. Bambino in grembo? Antonia non può fare a meno di rimanere stupita. Quello è il suo bambino? E il padre? Apparently her first great love - a man she could never completely forget.

Anne Sauer talks about how her own life could have turned out if she hadn't taken one crucial turn. “In the Life Next Door” reflects two life scenarios of a young woman, tells alternating two versions of a life and, with appropriate humor, feeling and lightness, takes a look at the horror of wanted and unwanted motherhood: the great happiness with a child, but also: living without a child.

Anne Sauer (*1989) lives as a freelance copywriter and presenter in Hamburg. She is part of literary juries and has been recommending current contemporary literature for many years, including: in the podcast ›MONATSLESE‹ or as @fuxbooks on Instagram. For her work, the German Book Trade Association awarded her the Young Excellence Award in 2022. Her highly acclaimed essay about Taylor Swift was published in 2024, with which she went straight onto the SPIEGEL bestseller list. ›Nella vita della porta accanto‹ è il suo romanzo d'esordio.
