Even a youth revolt does not stay young forever; the revolutionaries begin to dye their hair, then stop again and turn to their advance directives. They sit by the window, looking down on a life that is no longer theirs. It unfolds in white sneakers, with bare ankles in oversized coats, jogging dresses, and knitted caps. For decades, Isolde Schaad has cast her watchful eye on acute societal events, including her own generation. With a satirical gaze, she observes the office community that revolutionizes journalism over overflowing ashtrays, only to fall into the trap of its own imagination. In cold light, the early death of the century's artist Sophie Taeuber-Arp appears as a local MeToo committee reopens the case as a criminal investigation. Whether an elderly lady at her best friend's grave pleads for the tears that do not come, or a famous author across the ocean celebrates the first day after writing, Isolde Schaad's storytelling is always refreshed with malicious humor and humanistic irony. And in between, the very latest edition of the Duden serves as a warning against the absence of gender correctness.
