The name of the protagonist and where he has immigrated from remain unknown. Parts of his identity are revealed through the people he interacts with who are all immigrants as well. We find that he takes drugs and other mood altering substances with his friend Reza, a sitar player from Persia. Through Reza he meets Faroud a gay man, also from Persia who came to Canada escaping persecution and torment. He also meets The Professor, who is called so because he was a professor in Lebanon. The protagonist does not like the professor as he feels that he cannot accept his situation in Canada and still lives in the grandeur of the past. Lastly, he meets Shohreh a young woman from Iran who was raped by Islamists in her home country. Im Folgenden treten die Kakerlaken in den Hintergrund und uns wird das wahnwitzige politische und volkswirtschaftliche Konzept des Reversalismus vorgestellt, das die britische Regierung durchsetzen möchte. Hierzu werden die Geldflüsse umgedreht, also auch wie Kafkas Verwandlung reversed – welch eine Doppelanalogie – betrachtet. Hsieh YS, Hsu CY (2011) Honeybee trophocytes and fat cells as target cells for cellular senescence studies. Exp Gerontol 46:233–240 Dadurch, dass hier aber Kafka von Mc Ewan ganz innovativ geremixed wird – nämlich indem er die Geschichte reversed erzählt (Der Mensch verwandelt sich nicht in eine Kakerlake, sondern die Kakerlake wird zum Menschen) – wird meiner Meinung nach dem Umstand, dass er politische Gegner als Kakerlaken entmenschlicht, durch die Kafka-Analogie die Schärfe genommen. Indem er sich in die Tradition von Orwells Animal Farm und die Verwandlung einreiht, hat er hier die historische Bombe von Ratten und Kakerlaken im Vorfeld eines Genozids ganz gut entschärft, er reiht sich ein in den literarischen Brauch, nicht Opfer zu generieren, sondern die herrschende Kaste als Tiere ironisch zu persiflieren. Aber das müsst Ihr natürlich selbst entscheiden, ob das auch für Euch zutrifft. Die Irritationen dazu kann ich selbstverständlich verstehen. Jeanne, my younger sister, her four children, Douce, eight, Nella, seven, Christian, five, Nenette, one, and the baby she was eight months pregnant with.Wounded, Jeanne falls to the ground. Her belly is sliced open. The fetus is ripped out. They beat her with the fetus. Nana [her youngest child] is at her side. The killers go on their way, leaving Nana there with her. And then someone, and I will never know who that someone is, asks a dying Jeanne, as she lies in a pool of her own blood, what he can do for her. ‘You can’t do anything for me, but if you can do something, take Nana with you.”

Genocide was first coined by a Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944 in his book “Axis Rule in Occupied Europe”. It was first recognized as a war crime under international law in 1946 by the United Nations General Assembly. Without a shift in expression, the foreign secretary turned and left the room, closing the door behind him with exaggerated care.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 103:3955–3964 In her adopted home of France, Mukasonga looks at a photograph of her family on the day her younger sister got married. All the people in the photograph are dead now.Beautifully written in the graceful, lilting prose that dominated Our Lady of the Nile.” – Eileen Battersby, Irish Times(Best Books of 2016) Als Betriebswirtin mit VWL-Ausbildung muss ich aber sagen, dass McEwan sein System in seiner ganzen Beklopptheit sehr stringent, spannend konzipiert und bis zur letzten Konsequenz betriebswirtschaftlich durchexerziert hat. Bargeld darf bei Gefängnisstrafe nicht gehortet und ausgeführt werden, und der Reversalismus funktioniert natürlich langfristig nur, wenn auch der Rest der Welt mitmacht, es sei denn, Großbritannien schottet sich vom Welthandel ab und agiert wirtschaftlich total autark. Dazu müsste man dann auch noch die Grenzen schließen. Greider CW (1998) Telomeres and senescence: the history, the experiment, the future. Curr Biol 8:R178–R181 The infectious contempt through which the anti-hero protagonist views everything around him -- dispensed equally among the struggling immigrant community and the fine-dining bourgeoisie who live in a state of permanent denial -- allows the novel to conspicuously flirt with themes of violence, class consciousness, existential dread, cultural conflict, and the persistent declarations and regrets of human agency.

Over and over, I write and rewrite their names in the blue-covered notebook, trying to prove to myself that they existed; I speak their names one by one, in the dark and the silence. I have to fix a face on each name, hang some shred of a memory. I don’t want to cry, I feel tears running down my cheeks. I close my eyes. This will be another sleepless night. I have so many dead to sit up with. I know that I have been woefully ignorant of the scope of what happened in Rwanda over the years and in 1994. This book was overdue for me and I believe so many others should read it. As has been said innumerable times before, if we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it. This is difficult but necessary reading as Mukasonga takes us through to her return after the genocide to the destroyed village and the remnants of her childhood.
