L'opera di Noémi Lefebvre approfondisce l'intricata intersezione tra personale e politico. I suoi romanzi esplorano come l'identità individuale venga plasmata da forze sociali e storiche. Attraverso uno stile acuto e perspicace, svela le complessità delle relazioni adulte e dell'autopercezione. La sua scrittura offre un esame provocatorio di come i destini personali si intreccino con contesti politici e culturali più ampi.
A contemporary novel of angst and high farce, Blue Self-Portrait unfolds among Berlin's cultural institutions but is more truly located in the mid-air flux between contrary impulses to remember and to ignore. Noemi Lefebvre shows how music continues to work on and through us, addressing past trauma while reaching for possible futures.
In this new novel by the acclaimed author of Blue Self-Portrait, a poet- narrator existing on a diet of cannabis, bananas and books on oppression under the Third Reich muddles through a national state of emergency. Their ten lessons to today's young poets form a blistering treatise on survival skills for the wilfully idle.
