Story Behind the StoryEpisode 53: Hilary Leichter - TERRACE STORYHilary Leicther's particular brand of surrealist fiction takes metaphors and makes them tangible. Her debut novel, Temporary, followed a nameless, archetypal temp worker from one gig to the next. As the jobs grow progressively stranger, their strangeness bleeds into her personal life.

It is a novel about the impact each of us has on the world around us, and...2025-04-0255 min

Hilary Leichter, geboren 1985, freie Schreiberin für die „New York Times“ und das „Harper’s Magazine“ und Dozentin an der Columbia University, hat ein gutes Auge für das Groteske, die sonderbaren Seiten unserer Realität.
Das Leben wiederum behandelt ihre Protagonistinnen alles andere als gut. Um sie herum sterben Tiere und Pflanzen aus, und ihre eigene Existenz ist längst auch in Gefahr. Sie verdingen sich als Schuhschrank-Ordner, Schaufensterpuppen im Kaufhaus, als Assistentinnen bei Gewaltverbrechen – Hauptsache beschäftigt. Platz für Träume ist in so einem Leben keiner – dafür wohne...2024-06-0221 min
