Mareike Fallwickl has written one of the most drastic first pages of a novel of 2022. This page begins with a missing spice and ends with a mother’s suicide. “We don’t have any salt,” says the man Johannes. But Helene hears the “you” in this sentence, the accusation. She sees her three children, feels their miserable need and because she hasn’t been able to for far too long, not just since the pandemic, she gets up and throws herself off the balcony. This all happens on the first page of “The Rage That Remains”.
