Extract in German
Flight or Fight
Published by Diogenes as Sobald wir angekommen sind
Original Title: Sobald wir angekommen sind

Ben Oppenheim is juggling his ex-wife, two children and his love for Julia, and he urgently needs money. He is hoping for a breakthrough with his new screenplay. His producer, however, rejects the Holocaust subject matter. Yet the persecution of his forefathers shapes Ben’s thoughts and feelings to this day. When Russia threatens nuclear strike, Ben obeys his flight instinct. The Oppenheim family takes the next plane to Brazil.

Audacious, intelligent, paranoid, self-deprecating and full of wit, this is a debut novel about the burning issues of our era.

Pressezitate

Annemarie Stoltenberg
NDR Kultur, Hamburg

»Micha Lewinsky's novel Flight or Fight is a refined play on our anxieties about the future.«

SRF, Zurich

»Is Flight or Fight going to make it to the big screen? We may eagerly look forward to the journey of this audacious, smart novel.«

Petra Hartlieb
ORF, Vienna

»Highly comical, highly funny, but of course very tragic, too.«

Ruhr Nachrichten, Dortmund

»A most amusing read.«

Ruhr Nachrichten, Dortmund

»If you like Woody Allen films, you should also like Micha Lewinsky's novel Flight or Fight. They have the same humor.«

Nürnberger Nachrichten

»A splendid debut!«

Hans Jürg Zinsli
Kulturtipp, Zurich

»An almost startling lightness, which could be described as self-ironic reflection, blends into the Jewish fears of persecution that Lewinsky has never expressed so clearly.»

Aargauer Zeitung, Baden

»Micha Lewinsky's tragicomic novel skillfully merges the oppressive present with wit and a sense of effortless ease.«
