Drei Romane, drei Autorinnen, drei Blickwinkel „Die gute Frau“ könnte dieser Abend titeln. Denn es geht um Liebe, um Lebenslinien, Wege, weibliche Selbstermächtigung, um gesellschaftliche Erwartungen und die Möglichkeiten „zu lieben“, wie Ulrike Draesners Roman heißt (Penguin). Draesner erzählt von den Fragen und Fragilitäten einer Mutterschaft. Laetitia Lenel, eine Autorin aus Frankfurt am Main, legt ihr Debüt im gerade startenden Gutkind Verlag vor. In „Eine liebe Frau“ lässt eine Frau im Jahre 1963 an einem einzigen Tag ihr gesamtes Leben, mit seinen Brüchen und Umwälzungen, Revue passieren. Und Jackie Thomae, zuletzt zu Gast mit ihrem für den Deutschen Buchpreis nominierten Erfolgsroman „Brüder“, stellt in „Glück“ (Claassen) die Frage: Kann man nur als Mutter glücklich werden oder geht das auch anders? Es ist ein Roman über Frauen unter Druck. Wer ist sie und wie lebt sie heute also, die „gute Frau“? Das fragt im Gespräch mit den Autorinnen die Literaturwissenschaftlerin und TV-Kulturjournalistin Ariane Binder.

Three novels, three authors, three perspectives "The Good Woman" could be the title of this evening. Because it's about love, lifelines, paths, female empowerment, societal expectations, and the possibilities of "to love," as Ulrike Draesner's novel is named (Penguin). Draesner tells of the questions and fragilities of motherhood. Laetitia Lenel, an author from Frankfurt am Main, presents her debut in the newly launched Gutkind Verlag. In "A Dear Woman," a woman in 1963 reviews her entire life with its ruptures and upheavals in just one day. And Jackie Thomae, recently a guest with her successful novel "Brothers," nominated for the German Book Prize, asks in "Happiness" (Claassen): Can one only be happy as a mother, or is there another way? It's a novel about women under pressure. So who is she and how does she live today, the "good woman"? This is the question posed to the authors in conversation by the literary scholar and TV cultural journalist Ariane Binder.
Colm Tóibín, one of the most important contemporary Irish authors, is celebrated enthusiastically by readers and critics for novels such as “The South,” “Brooklyn,” or most recently “Long Island.” In the Literature House, he now presents his first poetry collection “Vinegar Hill” (Hanser Verlag), which showcases his fine poetic sensibility. He reflects on his childhood in Enniscorthy, Ireland, strolls through the streets of Dublin and Barcelona, crosses Venetian bridges, and visits the White House. He also addresses themes such as mortality, religion, and love. A discovery! The conversation with Colm Tóibín is led by Margarete von Schwarzkopf in German and English. The translation of the poems, translated from English by Michael Krüger and Volker Schlöndorff, is read by Christoph Pütthoff, a member of the ensemble of Schauspiel Frankfurt.
The reading is a guest event of the Consulate General of Ireland, Frankfurt am Main.
