Product description

People think they know what they're capable of. They think they could never kill their parents or harm a child under any circumstances. That they would never go so far as to rape someone. That they would never drive their children off a bridge into the void. They think they're incapable of committing a crime until they do. A supermarket in France. Lisa hopes to catch a glimpse of her five-year-old twins, who are shopping with their father. In a custody battle, she lost visitation rights with her sons and is no longer allowed near the family home. She sees her children only once a month under supervision. The pain of no longer experiencing her sons' daily lives is as overwhelming as her emotions during these visits. Her court-appointed lawyer despairs of Lisa, who herself becomes the greatest danger while observing the family's life. Finally, with a rental car, Lisa breaks the legally mandated distance from the family home; the familiar surroundings bring even more memories to the surface. The bridge under which she and her husband argued, but also passionately loved; the country house with the residence of her in-laws, who had rejected her from the start. But the observation, which increasingly became an obsession, eventually wasn't enough anymore...

Ariana Harwicz tells a tempestuous and unconventional story of a self-consuming passion. "Headless" is the tale of a robbery, a kidnapping, an arson—a novel about motherhood unlike any other, linguistically sensational, emotionally incomprehensible. Biography (Silke Kleemann): Silke Kleemann, born in Munich, primarily translates novels and poetry from Spanish, including works by Juan Filloy, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Alberto Fuguet, and Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. Born in 1976, she lives in Munich as a literary translator, editor, and author.
