Striker – Helene Hegemann on martial arts and class wars
Her debut “Axolotl Roadkill” was a sensation and she’s become a fixture of the German-speaking literature scene. Striker is Helene Hegemann’s eagerly awaited new novel, a high-speed, electrifying tale of a present in which the boundaries between conspiracies, class war and violence are increasingly blurred. At the forefront is martial artist N, whose existence is shaped by contradictions. She lives between a problem district and an exclusive residential neighborhood, occupies a world between powerlessness and body-building, and is familiar with both incredible discipline and endless self-hatred. One morning, she discovers mysterious symbols on the wall opposite her apartment. And then a strange woman turns up, claiming to be connected with them. Who is she? And why does N find it hard to shake the feeling that she’s face-to-face with herself every time they meet? Host: Maria-Christina Piwowarski
