A fearless novel from 1929: Mela Hartwig debates the gender theories on a level with the contradictions of her time and manages to unsettle her audience even 80 years later.
»It’s hard to be immune to the pull of this highly disturbing parable on the destructive power of male manipulation.« (FAZ)
»The historical chiffres and hysterical images Mela Hartwig sets up around what she calls ›Woman‹ are indeed worth being read and contemplated as a mirror of the hot-and-cold 1920s.« (NZZ)
