In this provocative novella, Katharina Volckmer explores the intersections of personal history and national trauma through a singular, unrelenting monologue. Set in London, the narrative follows a German protagonist whose appointment with a doctor becomes a catalyst for a profound examination of guilt, identity, and the physical manifestations of inherited shame. Volckmer’s prose is both sharp and unsettling, dissecting the complexities of the German experience with unflinching precision.
