An article about the novel appeared in the Maghreb Magazine “Cold War, Hot Autumn“ by Hit Adouani.
The novel, published in 2025 (translated from English by Christa Schuenke), takes readers to a Berlin apartment building in Kreuzberg - and right into life in exile.
The article in the Maghreb Magazine not only sheds light on the plot of the novel, but also its social dimension. At the center is a poor, multicultural neighborhood characterized by poverty, addiction and social insecurity - but at the same time also by moments of solidarity, dignity and unexpected beauty. Adouani's poetic language combines precise everyday observations with memories of her Tunisian homeland, creating a diverse picture of the urban exile experience.
