Virginie Despentes’ novel “Dear Asshole” at the Schauspielhaus Zurich – Culture

In the darkness of the stage in the Pfauen, the red velvet venue of the Zurich Schauspielhaus, a face lights up. Illuminated by the light from her cell phone, Magda Drozd reads from Zoé’s blog. There Zoé published what happened to her ten years ago with Oscar Jayack. At the time, she was a press officer at the publishing house where Oscar’s novels were taking off. He was smitten with her, she wasn’t with him, he harassed her, stalked her, stalked her – she was fired. She has now had her feminist blog for a long time, where she tackles the silence out of shame, for which she is attacked, including by women, who tell her she should keep quiet, her point of view is terrorism. But: “I raise a complaint in the midst of hundreds of thousands of complaints. My voice is a snowflake in the avalanche that is overwhelming you.”
