In Annegret Liepold’s debut novel “Under Grund”, the sixteen -year -old Franka gets into the right -wing radical milieu. No, not in the East German province, but in the West German.
West German province, these are old farms with potholes in the asphalt. Commercial areas with circular reversals. Solar lamps in the neighboring garden. And teenagers who shoot away on the church consecration so much that they throw up in the village pond. But West German province is also the feeling that it is suspicious of the surrounding houses when walking through the village. And because all the part of Annegret Liepold’s debut is “underground”, one thing is clear: This book will find itself again who knows the West German province, maybe even grew up there.
