Jeden Tag was anderes

Fictional diary. What occupies a woman from the '68 generation living in a small town on the border with Austria in her daily life? Professionally: writing. Daily. Reading. Likewise. With readings. Once or twice a month. With women writers' groups. Occasionally. Personally: with her housemates. Husband and dog. Daily. With wrinkle-fighting. Continuously. With baking bread. Now and then. With the anti-aging program. Oh dear. Socially: with family of origin and friends, both digital and analog. When unavoidable. Politically: with the other Merkel. With pleasure. With local politics. Daily, out of a mistake. With German, European, and world politics. When something stands out. In this context, the influence of the '68 generation is still felt. The enthusiasm for Willy Brandt and Helmut Schmidt. Even though both are never mentioned in the book, their spirit lingers, well, somehow. And that of Joschka Fischer. An identification with Uschi Obermaier has inexplicably not occurred; this gap was filled by Alice Schwarzer and Marlen Haushofer a bit later. Both also do not appear in the book. Astrologically: with extraordinary constellations. Three times. Or more. When astronomical is confused with astrological. How much of these daily statements is fictional - probably nothing at all. It could be nothing but the naked truth. Or pure wishful thinking. So many deceive themselves. The diary writer can do that too. What are we supposed to believe now?.
