Ich will die Menschen ausroden von der Erde

If you grew up in the nineties, you'll remember the light-heartedness. The summers are warm. The ice cream is cheap. Men are men and women are women. And young girls are supposed to be happy when older pop singers lift them up on stage. How sweet is that?

During this time, our protagonist dreams of her first kiss as a young girl. Later, she finances her doctoral thesis by having sex for money. Of course, any seemingly causal connections are pure coincidence. But what initially appears to be a lucrative sideline soon pushes her to her limits. Suddenly, unpleasant patterns are repeated and casual humiliations escalate into the grotesque. Not even Shinrin Yoku can help. ... Shinrin what?

María Velasco wallows with relish in the mud hole of gender injustice. At the end of this cheerful reckoning, we find ourselves back in radical tree therapy.
