The English debut of an idiosyncratic narrative voice. "What now?"
wonders Asta, a nurse who has returned to Germany after a final
assignment in Nicaragua. After over twenty years working for
international aid organizations, her services are no longer needed.
No one is waiting for her. She has nowhere to go. Even the language
has lost its familiarity. She stands next to a revolving door at
Munich airport, observing the other travelers as she smokes one
duty-free cigarette after another. Some of these strangers resemble
figures from her past, bringing memories of an adventurous life
flooding back. Her catalog of tragicomic attempts at assistance in
Germany, Nicaragua, India, Mongolia, and Tunisia raises questions
about what it takes to help and whom we are really helping. Katja
Lange-Muller's works have been critically acclaimed for their dark
humor and affectionate, nuanced portrayals of characters wrestling
with knotty situations and relationships. Revolving Door marks a
fitting English debut of this most idiosyncratic of narrative
voices.
