Happily

"Happily" ist ein Buch wie eine Wundertüte: Wenn wir es öffnen, kommen wir aus dem Staunen nicht mehr heraus. Wir folgen Eli und Noah, den beiden Söhnen der Autorin, auf ihren Abenteuern, wir begegnen Wölfen, Prinzessinnen und Stiefmüttern, Peter Pan, Alice oder Rumpelstilzchen. Poetisch und verschmitzt lässt uns Sabrina Orah Mark am Alltag ihrer Schwarz-jüdischen Patchworkfamilie im amerikanischen Süden teilhaben. Ihre Geschichten sind erfüllt von der Surrealität des Zusammenlebens, von Mutterliebe, Wärme und Verlustangst. Sie erfindet das alte Märchen neu, stellt es auf den Kopf, um die Widersprüche unserer Gegenwart zu verstehen und vom Wunder der Zugehörigkeit, aber auch von Rassismus und Bedrohtheit zu erzählen.

In Happily, Sabrina Orah Mark reimagines the modern fairy tale, turning it inside out and searching it for the wisdom to better understand our contemporary moment in what Mark so incisively calls 'this strange American weather.' Set against the backdrop of political upheaval, viral plague, social protest, and climate change, Mark locates the magic in the mundane and illuminates the surreality of life as we know it today. In 'Sorry Peter Pan, We're Over You', Mark grapples with a loss of innocence when her son decides he would rather dress up as Martin Luther King, Jr., than Peter Pan for Halloween; in 'The Evil Stepmother' Mark finds unlikely communion with wicked wives and examines the roots of their bad reputation; and in 'Rapunzel, Draft One Thousand, ' the hunt for a wig maker in a time of unprecedented civil unrest forces Mark to finally confront her sister's cancer diagnosis and the stories we tell ourselves to get by"--
