No more Drama

By Dennis Iwan

This novel, in which the past catches up with the present and the present catches up with the future, breaks with the laws of a sequel. Ten years later, it picks up on events and their impact from the 2024 novel The Drama of the Lowest Kind. Nevertheless, No more Drama functions as a stand-alone novel that works wonderfully without its predecessor.

The plot takes place after, during and before an immense blackout.
In 50 chapters, a more than vaguely interwoven group of 5 women and 4 men try to adequately counter the breath of a new order that is felt in their necks.

How their valid reasons can put the relationship between time and witnesses and the place of a crime into a new context. The loss, which is actually based on repression and grief, conceals the predetermined breaking point of a system that can be triggered in seconds and which, despite all the necessarily imposed identities and the search for a lost child, lacks the means of escape.

Like a background noise, reciprocal action, lived ethics and revised perspectives nevertheless prove again and again with finesse that one own expectations of oneself and others can actually be exceeded.

3 of these episodes (Celina, Saskia, Noah) are told backwards.

All of this may seem vague, but is reflected in this book in all its forc concreteness and breadth.
It tries to do justice to the program of its title - a novel that does not want to be another drama.
