Ronja von Rönne: “Despite” is her life theme

Author Ronja von Rönne has written an essay about her life theme: defiance. A visit.

Ronja von Rönne leans back, puts her feet up on the kitchen table and lights a cigarette, hair styled in a messy bun on top of her head. You could say she looks defiant if it weren’t so cliché given her new book, which bears that very defiance in its title. The essay has only been on the market for a few days and has already been widely criticized. Literary critic Elke Heidenreich calls the text a “fleeting, completely superfluous book” and that von Rönne has “failed tremendously”.
