just opened 'feuchtgebiete' ('wetlands') at some random page and read for 20 pages or so. and it is a disgusting as i remembered the beginnig being (which i heard in a readin on the leipzig book fair a few years ago). this particular section was about the main character's period and how she deals with it, her various visits to brothels, and how much she likes to eat all her various bodily ... things. (blut und popel, schorf und eiter, all sowas. mjam.)
seriously. I can't help but wonder how much of that the author does herself, because people don't just come up with all that shit, do they? I'd never even think of writing a character who eats her own boogers and calls it a hobby. just - what?
it's really pretty disgusting.

Date: 2009-11-04 01:26 pm (UTC)I'm not interested in her as a character, because it doesn't feel as if there will be a reason why she does all the shit she does (apart from her parents divorcing. please.) It just makes no sense, there's no real plot or anything to tie all the weirdness together.
And yeah, booger eating is pretty common, but most of the stuff she does isn't. to go by the pages I read yesterday, who always and on reasons of getting one over the tampon industry always stuffs themselves with toilet paper roll things? eats their schorf and eiter and just, ugh. there is just no reason for all her madness.
it really doen't feel like a novel, and that's what makes me stop reading, and not wanting to read it in order. if it did, I might even get through all the disgusting stuff. but there's just nothing beyond that.

Date: 2009-11-04 01:28 pm (UTC)popel essen versteh ich sogar noch, aber eiter ablecken, anderen leuten gerne unangekünsigt die pickel ausdrücken und all das andere wiederliche zeug, was sie so veranstaltet - am stück könnte ich das sicher auch nicht lesen. gelegentlich mal ein paar seiten, um es dann wieder angewiedert in die ecke zu werfen...

Ich weiß über Frau Roche sonst wenig (abgesehen von alten VIVA2-Zeiten), hab aber mal in ihre Bestatter-Doku reingeschaut, und die fand ich echt ganz gut.
