So erzählt es die »Odyssee«, aber ist es auch die Geschichte, die Penelope selbst erzählen würde? Nein, findet Margaret Atwood. Launig und ohne ein Blatt vor den Mund zu nehmen hält ihre Penelope Rückschau auf ihr Leben, berichtet von der gnadenlosen Konkurrenz mit der hübs...

Klug, dabei oft verspielt sprechen die Gedichte von Abwesenheit, Altern und Rückschau, aber auch von Neubeginn und Glück. »Dearly« ist...
