A BRIGHT, FUNNY, SAVVY PORTRAIT OF A GENERATION
“Being young today is thrilling and full of excitement. We set our hearts on lands beyond the horizon and long for wings. So, if we were to go away, it would not be such as surprise.
We are green and digital, full of hope and realistic, we want to make the world a better place and backpack around it, we are in love and live together, we network and reject ties, our pockets are full of immature ideas and our heads full our parents’ crumbling expectations. We are 100,000 one-offs in a series.”
Chantal-Fleur Sandjon about ,Serienunikat’She’s had it up to here – with her parents and their antiquated views. 20-year-old Anne-Sophie engages in a headlong flight to Berlin, 644 kilometres away from her parents and with about 3.5 million more inhabitants than her tiny home town. There, she hopes to find out what she wants to do in life: with her very own agenda for becoming a different person - a list that includes just about everything, from experimenting with sex to spirituality, from fasting to getting high, and from tattoos to travelling to Tibet. Everything, in fact, that’s needed to give her personality an upgrade.
With this debut novel, Chantal-Fleur Sandjon has put her finger on the nerve of an entire generation. This book draws you in with its clear-sighted view of the many-layered feelings and problems that beset the Y Generation which has grown up knowing that everything is in a constant state of flux, short-lived and virtual. ‘Serial One-off’ is a book that demands to be read and is a really fun read.
