Judy Budnitz erzählt in ihren Erzählungen von skurrilen und surrealen Situationen, die aus dem Alltäglichen entstehen. Ihre Geschichten sind schockierend, ironisch und märchenhaft zugleich. Sie enthüllen das Verdrängte und Zensierte hinter der Normalität und zeigen die Möglichkeit, den "großen Sprung" in ein anderes Leben zu wagen.
Eine unvergessliche Erzählmischung von Judy Budnitz, die mit Lachen, Weinen und großen Emotionen überrascht. Ihre fantasievollen Geschichten, die zum Nachdenken anregen, erinnern an Kafkas "Verwandlung" und sind in nüchterner Prosa verfasst. Exzellent!
