To get, to be, and also to appear: that is the matter of 24-year-old Vivian's master's thesis, an ambitious work that explores the role of gender in social, artistic, and intellectual pursuits. To gather her research, Vivian peppers her friends and classmates with some increasingly provocative questions guaranteed to spark the curiosity of anyone who has ever before questioned why things are the way they can be, particularly about the understanding of gender between individuals and in population. Exciting listeners are subsequently led through the same questions by a diverse quintet of characters: bisexual Korinna, a superstar rugby player and obsessive reader of Michel Foucault's and Judith Butler's ideas of sexuality; Frauke, a lesbian doctoral pupil writing her dissertation about Christ's foreskin; Frauke's fiancée Angela, previously Angelo, a Bible-reading Italian Catholic who considers himself a lesbian; and Hans, a self-described male feminist who is convinced that men have problems with "reproduction envy". Groundbreaking publisher Thomas Meinecke brings his innovative writing style to the arresting novel, sampling words and texts the way a disk jockey samples music, spinning apparently disparate music into a single, glowing melody of human being consciousness.
