reception
"Based on the depressing life story of a classmate, the doctor and writer Corinna Sievers describes in reduced and all the more moving sentences that it is not the cleft lip and palate that is a deformity, but the socially crippled village community."
“Corinna Sievers is capable of diagnosing and amusing in a way that hardly any other contemporary author in Switzerland can do. (...) This is a reading recommendation. And a warning: Corinna Siever's novel is easy to read, but difficult to cope with. It destroys images of women and men that have become dear to all of us. (...) Thank you that at least one of you is telling the truth and in such a cool, unsentimental way. "
"The reversal of male sexism is surprising and refreshing."
"What the text lives on and why it is good is the language."
“Before the flood” is intended to provoke, but only lurches through the wetlands of genre literature between tastelessness and involuntary comedy. "
