Ken Merten »Ich glaube jetzt, dass das die Lösung ist«

Moderated by Felix Bartels

Dresden in spring 2017: the left-wing scene dreams of Rojava. A new Catalonia in the fight for liberation against Islamic State, Assad and Erdoğan. When Kim is threatened with arrest, the disillusioned I. follows her to northern Iraq and from there to Syria to fight against IS. But they are separated from each other while training with the Kurdish units. In a language whose playful seriousness is reminiscent of Ronald M. Schernikau, Ken Merten's interbrigadists negotiate the works and theories of Peter Hacks and Hans Heinz Holz, Werner Tübke and Pablo Picasso, Lenin and Karl May. "I now believe that this is the solution" is the unheroic novel of an international brigade.
