Stille Zeile Sechs

Monika Maron leaves you with very ambiguous feelings. The first person narrator tells us twice that she would feel better if her male counterpart would die. First her father and later a member of the Communist oligarchy in East Germany. The latter almost mirroring her father just on a bigger scale. The ambiguity comes with your (at least my) agreement to damn here father figures for their actions and as well what they refrain from. But I did not feel on ease with the absoluteness of the judgement. The plot is not all that complicated, you can read it here. But the emotional and moral implications keep me contemplating.
