Das Stammeln der Wahrsagerin

Apartment clearances and a clean slate, urgent and spontaneous sales. What drives people to part with their belongings for little money through classifieds? Seriously, with the intention to buy, Sarah Khan has met many advertisers and listened closely as they began to share their life stories, transforming them into oral history literature. The result is a collection of stories about farewells and new beginnings, happiness and misfortune, lofty or already burst dreams. Since Sarah Khan has been renovating an old schoolhouse in Brandenburg with her family and setting it up as a weekend home, she constantly studies eBay classifieds. There, she finds not only household items but also unworn wedding dresses, horse books, cosmetics, and photo albums. And she realizes: behind these ads are people. The sad Yvonne with her wedding dress; a young woman who is serious.
