Reading Eva Reisinger "Men kill"

A fast-paced utopia of defensive feminism in an Austrian village Anna Maria lives a typical big city life: she works in a hip company, goes partying with her friends at the weekend and has a complicated ex-relationship. Until she meets Hannes at the bar of a nightclub. He is from Engelhartskirchen, a village in Upper Austria that she has never heard of before. And she certainly doesn't expect to wake up one morning with Hannes in this hick town. When it does happen, the clichés initially come to mind: cows, dumplings, church bells. But then Anna Maria realises that not everything fits into the picture. Why is there a female priest even though the village is Catholic? How is it that the women celebrate much louder here than elsewhere? Where have the men gone? And what does all this have to do with Kathrin Glock?

Eva Reisinger, born in 1992, grew up in the Upper Austrian province between tent festivals and Wodkabull. She studied journalism in Vienna and worked in media organisations in Hamburg, Berlin and Istanbul. From 2017, she built up a focus on Austria for the young medium of DIE ZEIT and reported as a correspondent from the neighbouring country. Her first book "Was geht, Österreich?" was published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 2021. She received the Start Literature Scholarship from the City of Vienna for her debut novel. She lives as a freelance author with her dog Frieda in Vienna and dreams of matriarchy.
