Adoleszenz-Romane - dicht am Lebensgefühl der jungen Generation [G] Novels of adolescence - reflecting the younger generation's attitude to life

Auch Clemens Meyer und Paul Ingendaay - beide für den Leipziger Buchpreis in der Sparte "Belletristik" nominiert - richten in ihren erst vor wenigen Monaten erschienenen Debüts noch einmal den Blick zurück auf die Adoleszenz: der eine in "Als wir träumten" auf eine öde, triste und potenziell durch die Gefahr des Abrutschens ins Kriminelle bedrohte Jugend in Ostdeutschland, der andere in "Warum du mich verlassen hast" auf ein westdeutsches Internatsleben, die Geschichte einer "Unbehaustheit", des Verlusts von Familie und Zuhause. [G] Clemens Meyer and Paul Ingendaay - both nominated for the Leipzig Book Fair Prize in the Fiction category - also look back to adolescence in their debuts, which were only published a few months ago. In "Als wir träumten (While We Were Dreaming)", Meyer writes about the bleak, dreary East German youth of a group of friends potentially at risk of slipping into criminality; while in "Warum du mich verlassen hast (Why You Left Me)", Ingendaay describes life in a West German boarding school, telling the story of a boy who becomes "homeless", losing his family and all his former certainties.

Literatur wird nicht selten mit (auto-) biographischem Schreiben verwechselt, erstaunlich viele junge Autoren erzählen von der eigenen Adoleszenz im Kreis der Familie. [G] Literature is now not seldom confused with (auto) biographical writing; astonishingly many young authors tell of their adolescent years within the family circle.
