Wladimir Kaminer: Müttertage
“My new book is about how a woman in her nineties, with a bit of a fog in her head, bravely carries on with life, solves global crises and brings up the cat.”
At least, those are a few of the things that Wladimir Kaminer’s own mother takes care of. And she is in the best of company in these stories. After all, who ensures that the world carries on turning in a reasonably orderly fashion, if not our mothers?
They try – more or less discreetly – to steer the fortunes of their offspring, offer advice and even entrust us with their secret recipe for aspic.
Not everything meets with the hoped-for approval, but it certainly makes for a lovely story. Potential mothers-in-law are not neglected either. Anyone who wants to please them is capable of extraordinary transformations. Wladimir observed this with his own son.
