Im Juni 1804 sind Karoline von Günderrode und Heinrich von Kleist zu einer Teegesellschaft in Winkel am Rhein eingeladen. Christa Wolf schildert diese fiktive Begegnung der zwei empfindsamen Dichter, die sich im realen Leben beide für den Freitod entschieden haben, und lässt sie nachdenken über fehlende Freiräume und das nicht lebbare Leben. 979 erschienen, erzählt das Buch von Menschen, die an dem System, in dem sie stecken, zu verzweifeln drohen, und zeigt damit auch Parallelen zu Christa Wolfs eigener Gegenwart auf.

1971 schreibt Christa Wolf erstmals sehr persönlich über ein Thema, das sie ihr Leben lang begleitet: Die dramatische Flucht ihrer Familie aus Landsberg an der Warthe im Januar 1945.

Der Körper der Patientin wird zur Metapher eines allgemeinen Zusammenbruchs, und erst die Erkenntnis, dass politische Verhältnisse sie in diese lebensbedrohliche Lage gebracht haben, führt zu ihrer persönlichen Rettung. Eine Erzählung darüber, wie Politisches und Privates einander durchdringen - gelesen von der Autorin selbst.

Written for serious Christian listeners seeking depth rather than reassurance, this book addresses the quiet danger of lukewarm faith—belief without vigilance, religion without transformation, mercy presumed rather than received.
