Schon seit ihrer Jugend ist Hannah Vegetarierin. Sie lebt in der Stadt und hat nur noch wenige Verbindungen zum dörflichen Leben ihrer Kindheit. Als jedoch ihre Mutter stirbt, kehrt sie auf deren Hühnerhof zurück – vorübergehend, denkt sie, bis alles geregelt ist. Doch das Landleben in seiner Schönheit und seinem Schrecken nimmt sie in Beschlag, und schon bald entwickelt Hannah ein ganz besonderes Verhältnis zu den Tieren: Sie schlachtet und vakuumiert sie, verabschiedet aber jedes Hähnchen mit einer eigenen Biografie, die der Verpackung beiliegt. Aus dieser Geste der Wertschätzung entsteht ein Marketingprojekt, das irrwitzige Ausmaße annimmt: »Hannahs Hähnchen« werden zum Supermarkthit mit unerwarteten Folgen für Leib und Leben von Mensch und Tier. In Lucie Ricos amüsantem wie irrwitzigem Roman gerät das Leben der Protagonistin innerhalb der unerbittlichen Hackordnung von Hühnerstall, Fleischindustrie und Menschenwelt langsam, aber sicher außer Kontrolle, und der Weg vom Bauernhofidyll zur grellen Fleischtheke erscheint kürzer als gedacht.
A razor-sharp and seductively hypnotic debut novel about the very fantasy of falling in love. Emily didn’t join the cast of The One for fame or for a relationship. She simply didn’t have anything better to do. Newly fired from her dead-end job, it doesn’t take much convincing when she’s recruited as a last-minute contestant for the popular reality dating show. Emily has been performing her entire life—for her family and friends, former boyfriends, and coworkers. How different could it be playing herself in front of cameras? But the moment Emily arrives, it becomes clear she’s been tapped to win it all. Emily’s producer Miranda sees her as the golden ticket: generically pretty, affable, and easily molded—all the qualities of a future Wife. Emily herself is less certain. It’s easy enough to fall in love under romantic lighting and perfectly crafted dates, but it’s harder to remember what’s real and what’s designed. And as Emily’s fascination with another contestant grows, both Emily and Miranda are forced to decide what it is they really want—and what they are willing to do to get it. A brilliant send-up of our cultural mythology around romance, The One examines the reality of love and desire set against a world of ultimate artifice and manipulation.
Between a deeply fractured family life, feelings of crushing loneliness, and long-term mental illness, twenty-four-year-old Carla is thoroughly disenchanted with life, and as a result, fascinated with the idea of ending it all. Life is meaningless, but despite this, she finds something resembling purpose in the world of cinema. Her love for the art of moviemaking keeps her alive - at least for the time being. When Carla moves to Geneva for an internship, she is entering a new chapter of her life: a new career, new friends, new opportunities. However, she has no idea of what the future holds for her. Little does she know that this is the beginning of the end: a twisted rollercoaster ride of highs and lows that will find her at a breaking point. A masterful debut, Force Majeure is a heartbreakingly poignant, yet razor-sharp and darkly witty glimpse into the reality of living with mental illness.
