Freundinnen

"How unfortunate that we found each other so late," writes Rosa Luxemburg to her friend Marta. Elena Ferrante tells the story of the brilliant friends Lila and Elena, while Alice B. Toklas provides Gertrude Stein with culinary tokens of love. This anthology presents poems, stories, letters, and diary entries that explore this special relationship, the desire to have a best friend or to be one for others. And that friendship should ideally last a lifetime! The difficulties of everyday life, adverse personal circumstances, and challenges will change, but a friend should always be reachable if possible - whether with encouragement or criticism: "They know us very well and still stand by us!".
