In this poignant novel, a man guilty of a minor offense finds purpose unexpectedly by way of his punishment—reading to others. After an accident—or “the misfortune,” as his cancer-ridden father’s caretaker, Celeste, calls it—Eduardo is sentenced to a year of community service reading to the elderly and disabled. Stripped of his driver’s license and feeling impotent as he nears thirty-five, he leads a dull, lonely life, chatting occasionally with the waitresses of a local restaurant or walking the streets of Cuernavaca.

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou.

Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
Frauen am Ball / Filles en crampons
2020 jährte sich zum 50. Mal das Ende des Verbots für Frauen, Fußball in vereins- und verbandsmäßig organisierten Strukturen zu spielen - der Deutsche Fußballbund sowie der Französische Fußballverband hoben es 1970 auf.

Für Deutschland, Frankreich und weitere europäische Länder beleuchten die Beiträger*innen des Bandes den steinigen Weg des Frauenfußballs in den Jahrzehnten vor und nach 1970 und binden die Entwicklungstrends zurück an zentrale gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse der Zeit.
