Thema: Biografischer Roman

Biografischer Roman
Biografische Romane erschließen Persönlichkeiten mitunter komplexer als es das biografische Sachbuch vermag, denn sie beziehen einerseits die subjektive Sicht des Autors produktiv in die Darstellung mit ein und ermöglichen andererseits die dramatische Zuspitzung komplexer Situationen. Gerade im Bezug auf lesbische und schwule Personen der Vergangenheit ist das Genre des Romans von besonderer Bedeutung, ermöglicht doch der Roman viel stärker als das Sachbuch die Darstellung eines Lebens in mitfühlender, empathischer Weise, wo Quellen nur andeuten, schweigen oder ? wie häufig ? gezielt vernichtet wurden.
