Romanfabrik e.V.

Speaking was never a harmless means of communication for the writer Daniela Dröscher. As the child of a newcomer to the Hunsrück region, she was caught between High German and the broad Palatinate dialect, and speaking proved to be such a double-edged act of adaptation that she preferred to remain silent. Outside of the private sphere, she lacked the courage to stand up for her own words for a long time, too great was the fear of being recognized or misunderstood as a social climber.

With radical openness, she talks about her emancipation from a shamefully silent woman to a publicly speaking woman. She reflects on whether the willingness to misunderstand might not be the actual prerequisite for true understanding and a productive social dialog.
