Book excerpt: ‘A godsend for German literature’ Ina Hartwig It’s Autumn in Stuttgart, just before Halloween, and thirty-something mothers Judith and Leonie are safely ensconced in their upmarket apartments in one of the city’s best neighborhoods. Judith has squeezed her life into the straitjacket of wholesome stay-at-home motherhood – no TV, no sweets, nature hikes, and, above all, routine – and marriage to staid university professor Klaus. Leonie is proud of her work at a bank and her husband Simon’s career, though she worries that she’s neglecting her young daughters, and that Simon’s work distracts him from his family. Over the course of a few days, Judith and Leonie’s apparently stable, successful lives are thrown into turmoil by the secrets they keep, the pressures they’ve been keeping at bay, and the waves of change lapping at the peaceful shores of their existence. Shorter Days is both an ‘exorcism of women’s fears’ and a heartrending exploration of the joys and challenges of modern family life. Anna Katharina Hahn was born in 1970. Her other works include the collection of stories Kavaliersdelikt (Petty Crime), for which she was awarded the Clemens Brentano Prize in 2005, and Am Schwarzen Berg (The Neighbours) in 2012. In 2010, Anna Katharina Hahn was awarded the Heimito von Doderer Literary Award. Shorter Days was longlisted for the German Book Prize in 2009. ‘The focus, in particular, on the seemingly everyday quality of life, as well as the fact that the plot takes place over only a few days – which lead directly to disaster – are what make Shorter Days so captivating, as well as shocking’ Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ‘Shorter Days begins like a family play and broadens to world-class theater ... terrific’ Süddeutsche Zeitung

Book excerpt: How parenting became a verb, from Dr. Spock and June Cleaver to baby whispering and free-range kids. When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Sitcom families of the past—the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners—didn’t seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. In Long Days, Short Years, Andrew Bomback—physician, writer, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but, at the same time, so frustrating and difficult to parent. It’s not a “how to” book (although Bomback has read plenty of these) but a “how come” book, investigating the emergence of an immersive, all-in approach to raising children that has made parenting a competitive (and often not very enjoyable) sport. Drawing on parenting books, mommy blogs, and historical accounts of parental duties as well as novels, films, podcasts, television shows, and his own experiences as a parent, Bomback charts the cultural history of parenting as a skill to be mastered, from the laid-back Dr. Spock’s 1950s childcare bible—in some years outsold only by the actual Bible—to the more rigid training schedules of Babywise. Along the way, he considers the high costs of commercialized parenting (from the babymoon on), the pressure on mothers to have it all (and do it all), scripted parenting as laid out in How to Talk So Kids Will Listen, parenting during a pandemic, and much more.

Marta's world has been turned upside down. More than once. Living in Germany as World War II rages, Marta must learn to cope as all normalcy dissolves. If that wasn't enough, she must learn a new way of life in a new country, a new language, and a new culture. Ginnie and Vicky are both having problems. One is shipwrecked, and the other is stuck for the summer in a place she'd rather not be. Both must help each other, in ways that they don't understand, crossing the barrier of time itself.

Jillian lives with a trusted and dependable friend, Charlie. They had a unique friendship and living arrangement that was comfortable for both of them. Jillian, although happy with the arrangement, felt that one day it would end. She wanted that typical life with a husband and family and did not see that as being a desire for Charlie’s future. He was a wealthy and handsome young man whose goal in life seemed to revolve around fun. While planning a trip in which Jillian would spend two full weeks alone, Charlie challenges her to take a guest with her. She fights the idea at first, but reluctantly after losing a bet over the subject, Charlie had gotten himself in on the trip. Secretly Jillian was pleased that events had unfolded that way. Charlie spiced up her normal trip with new and exciting adventures. When he was suddenly called away from the trip Jillian was sad. In the time left on her trip she pined for Charlie’s company. Upon arriving home she confides to Charlie that it is him that she loves and longs to be with. Charlie in return admits he feels the same.
