Dichten ums Überleben auf Gratwanderung zwischen Ost und West : die Rolle der Geschichte(n) in Jan Koneffkes Roman "Die sieben Leben des Felix Kannmacher"
- Looking back, my memories seem like distant, made-up stories. These words of the main character are to be found all over Jan Koneffkes novel. A foreigner on the run, Felix Kannmacher is forced to tell stories in order to survive. He is at the mercy of a teenager who is avid for constantly new and different bedtime stories. Felix gives in, as he has no other choice but to be a slaveto this child. The following article analyses the fine line between the stories Felix invents for Virginia and two narratological aspects: the actual plot of the novel on the one hand, and the actual course of history, on the other. The entire novel is built on stories-within-stories that twist and turn the course of Story and History alike. Because each one of us writes their own (hi)story.
