Individual evidence
- ↑ “The protagonist, a little girl, grows up with her mentally ill mother. Reading serves to maintain her psychological integrity, as consolation after traumatic experiences and as the only source of at least temporary security. She feels "at home in the rhythm of the language", can use lines of poetry to name her distress, banish it and ensure her existence. [...] The peculiarity of Soria's story is the combination of poetic intensity and psychological authenticity, the keen eye for the existential dimension of the child's reading experience, for the ability to ignore everything while reading and to lose oneself in a deep sense of pleasure. “, In: Günther Stocker, reading scenes.
