Sarah

In the organizer's words:

"I don't want to change people. I want to love them, because that's the only way to change anything at all - by loving." - Scott McClanahan Scott is an average guy: vocational school literature teacher, two kids, married, always trying to do everything right. But what is that, really: the "right thing"? - Always being authentic? Always following conventions? When everyone is responsible for their own happiness, only one thing is really needed - self-confidence. But it's stupid when this self doesn't really get things right. In search of his own self, in the midst of a society that blindly follows the American Dream, although everyone suspects that it is a lie, Scott repeatedly comes up against his limits and those of his fellow human beings. "Sarah" is a hymn to life on the edge, the story of a marriage coming to an end, and an attempt to find common ground in a world full of individuals. Scott McClanahan (b. 1978) is a writer living in West Virginia. "Sarah" is his third novel and the first to appear in German, 2020.
