Hengameh Yaghoobifarah: Ministerium der Träume
In the organizer's words:
Literatür.jetzt. Feminist voices from everyday working life
Who cares? The Literatür .jetzt reading series is entering its second round. This time with a focus on stories by and about women and other FLINTA* people in the context of the world of work. Inevitably, topics such as unpaid care work, access and opportunities to education and paid work come up. Equally omnipresent are role expectations and attributions within the family, among friends, dealing with insecurity or suppressed anger.
* (The acronym FLINTA stands for women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans and agender people).
When the police turn up at her door, Nas's world collapses: her sister Nushin is dead. A car accident, say the officers. Suicide, Nas is convinced. Together they have survived everything: the migration to Germany, the loss of their father, the emotional absence of their mother, Nushin's unplanned motherhood. Although a child does not fit into her life, Nas takes in her niece. Even when she discovers that Nushin has been keeping secrets, Nas swallows the betrayal, gives her all to reconstruct her sister's story - and realizes that Nushin would never have abandoned her. "Ministry of Dreams" is a novel about a family of choice and coercion, a debut about the unconditional solidarity between siblings that also penetrates the dark corners of contemporary Germany.
