Above all, Christmas is the time when it’s perfectly okay to lose sight of your smartphone. For once, not moving from A to B like The Flash. The hours and minutes gloriously lose their relevance at the end of the year.
And that’s exactly why I love giving books away. Best in hardcover. And even better: one that has nothing to do with the Christian part of the holiday. Better to loop around a work that’s about making time for really brave characters, crazy sentence structures, and written image knots.
So much foreword, just to say – I’m giving away Helene Hegemann’s “Bungalow”. Published in 2018, my favorite novel ever since. The blurb begins with the word “unconditional” and that sums up everything I could gasp about. This is about twelve-year-old Charlie, who observes other residents from her concrete settlement. And who is incredibly fearless and blatant. I also want to pass on this kind of unreservedness with my gift. Merry Christmas.
