Die Heilige des nahenden Irrsinns
Freundschaft und Liebe, Tradition und Veränderung, Sprache und Nationalität im Schmelztiegel des modernen Amerika. Wenn Omar eines in den wenigen Monaten in Boston gelernt hat, dann dies: Amerikaner lieben es, wenn sie Namen aussprechen können. Den Namen von jemand anderem zu lernen heißt, einen Teil seiner Existenz zu verstehen. Und so hat sich Ömer in Omar verwandelt, ist in eine WG mit Abed und Piyu gezogen und hat sich Hals über Kopf in die ausschweifende Amerikanerin Gail verliebt. Was Gail und Omar vereint, ist das Gefühl, nur in ihrer Beziehung sie selbst sein zu können. Auch wenn ihre Vorstellung vom amerikanischen Traum nicht dieselbe ist ... 'Die Heilige des nahenden Irrsinns' - der erste Roman, den Elif Shafak auf Englisch geschrieben hat - fasziniert mit all den Themen, die ihr gesamtes Werk prägen: Identität, Kultur und Sprache.
