SWR Kultur lesenswert - LiteraturC Pam Zhang – Wo Milch und Honig fließenDie Welt im Jahr 2050: Überall herrscht Smog. Die meisten Tier- und Pflanzenarten sind ausgestorben. Deswegen haben sich einige sehr Reiche auf einem Berg bei Mailand angesiedelt, wo die Luft noch gut ist.
Dorthin verschlägt es auch die Erzählerin in C Pam Zhangs neuem Roman „Wo Milch und Honig fließen“. Sie ist Spitzenköchin und bekommt aus den bergeigenen Laboren und Anbaustätten all die Zutaten, die es in den Tälern nicht mehr gibt. Ein düsterer Zukunftsroman, der an einem eindrucksvollen Ort spielt, in Konstruktion und Figurenzeichnung aber nicht ganz überzeugt.

Longlisted for the Booker, it tells of Chinese American orphans Lucy and Sam’s quest through the Californian hills during the Gold Rush as they seek to bury the body of their father in a homeland that constantly tells them “this land is not your land.”Chaired by Mirandi Riwoe

This book takes some reading and the podcast is mainly Hajar rambling her way through how she felt about it, but we highly recommend you get yourself a copy. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's an absolute work of art. We discuss the usual topics of identity and class with a healthy dose of swearing but unfortunately just one disappointingly flat one-star review. Great news for the author, not so good for us.
