Feridun Zaimoglu - Love Male Scarlet

Serdar, German to Turkish parents, runs away from Kiel Turkey to his parents, because "the women sat in the neck." From then on he is with his friend Hakan in close and detailed correspondence, but also with his two ex-girlfriends Anke and Dina, he writes letters, shorter, without introducing his life and again on relationship and sex life are referring. The latter work, despite numerous incentives in Turkey with him and not his temporary impotence is constant object of his correspondence with Hakan, who also reported diligent about his everyday life and be more Maues love life.

An epistolary novel. The format and a typical beginning, which includes but is just glad to be gone and why it's gone, can certainly make comparisons since. The epistolary novel works at least in the sense that it produces an apparent authenticity - always in a creative tension with the language (so ne kind of semi-intellectual Kanaksprak) and also to the contents, some of which are simply not credible. The latter, however, the language fits beautifully; spätpubertierende megalomania can be very beautifully expressed by a language in which dramatic descriptions and exaggerations are standard repertoire - at least if one wants to represent the protagonist at least approximately as credible. And to draw in terms of love life, the inability to draw a line, this is true as well as on the difficult relationship homeland. So, yes, Serdar impotence is exactly for the Bewutsstsein unclear relationship with Turkey, but that is physically already decided. This is also reflected in his writing doldrums, at its ambivalent relationship with his parents and their expectations, which is evident in his dealings there. The most obvious is, however, to meet at his impotence, which makes it impossible for him with the woman and stay with her, he then meets and chooses his two ex-girlfriends Anke and Dinah. Such a relationship is possible only in Germany - on the way there, at the sight of the stewardess on the plane, around the same time his power, so to speak So its normal relationship to his body and his environment, back.

pleased me most, however, before the social and political implications of unemployment, discrimination, but the language is incredibly amusing. A right mix of intellectual, for example, with intertextual references of the classics of literature (whether on or Majnun Leyla Musil's "Man Without Qualities"), to coarse, banal humor.
I see myself already, should I ever again set foot on the ground Alemannic, received wrong by a cohort at the airport are all rolled up banners: Do not get get down, do not limp, or Satan, soft Serdar penis, and I'm on TV, and not as a legendary haiku creator, but as the clown of the hour. The sun shines on your civic duty, damn it, and is the first commandment: Thou shalt not soil for pieces of silver to your friend and master! (100)
