What if the world falls apart, but life must go on? Iryna Fingerova, born and raised in Odesa, lives and works as a doctor and author in Germany. In "Zugwind" (Rowohlt // translated by Jakob Walosczyk), the practice of a young Ukrainian doctor in Germany becomes a refuge for those seeking comfort, healing, and compassion.
The Munich illustrator Jutta Pilgram tells the story of a German-Egyptian friendship in her graphic novel "Glaub mir" (Jaja Verlag). She shows that freedom begins where belief stops causing fear. "Her narrative instinct and the clever use of illustrations are convincing across the board" (Barbara Yelin).
Where does everyday life end? When does madness begin? Man, daughter, house, running ducks - Wally has everything under control. Until one day she collapses. The Viennese author Cornelia Travnicek writes about a life with neurodivergence – cleverly, disarmingly honest, and very, very funny ("Ich erzähle von meinen Beinen", Picus Verlag).
