The Giraffe's Neck
Autor Judith Schalanskyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 mar 2015
Adaption is everything, something Frau Lohmark is well aware of as the biology teacher at the Charles Darwin High School in a country backwater of the former East Germany.
A strict devotee of Darwin's evolution principle, Lohmark views education as survival of the fittest: classifying her pupils as biological specimens and scorning her colleagues for indulging in 'favourites'. However, as people move West in search of work and opportunities, the school's future is in jeopardy and the Lohmark is forced to face her most fundamental lesson: she must adapt or she cannot survive.

Recenzii
"Remarkable" is too small a word. It is very funny, desperately sad and real, and ultimately, shocking
An unusual, distinctive novel that informs as well as entertains
A beautiful novel spotted with wondrous sketches
A relentless and darkly humorous internal monologue that links ideas in evolutionary biology and genetics to socialist and capitalist notions of progress
A subtle, understated book, tension, emotion and dark humour bubbling under the surface, with a melancholic air of retrospection
Beyond the agony, Mike Leigh-style, there's deep, dark laughter here
