Je tiefer das Wasser
Katya Apekinas Debüt „Je tiefer das Wasser“ ist eine Familiengeschichte, in der es um die Kraft der Kunst geht, die zerstören und heilen kann. Apekina verwebt mehrere Perspektiven und verschiedene Zeitebenen. Die beiden wichtigsten Stimmen gehören den Schwestern Edie und Mae, die wir 1997 kennenlernen, als sie 16 und 14 sind. Während Edie die Ereignisse 1997 erzählt, spricht Mae gut 15 Jahre später als Erwachsene. Apekina findet so für die Schwestern nicht nur einen klar unterscheidbaren Ton, sie bringt dadurch auch verschiedene Reflektionsebenen in den Text. Die Mutter der beiden hat versucht, sich das Leben zu ne...

The Topiary
This week, we voyage deep into outer space for a story that’s funny, strange, somewhat erotic and a little depressing. It’s a science-fiction outer space radio drama featuring Martin Starr (Silicon Valley, Freaks and Geeks), Matt Bush (Adventureland), and Lilan Bowden (Parks and Recreation). It’s part of a series called The Outer Reach, directed and produced by Nick White.
