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."

- Marianne Wellershoff : Kultur-Spiegel 10/2012, about beautiful is life and God's glory in his creation

“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. "

- Basler Zeitung , April 7, 2016, on The Half-Life of Love

"The reversal of male sexism is surprising and refreshing."

- Pia Reinacher: DLF Büchermarkt , March 7, 2016, about the half-life of love

"What the text lives on and why it is good is the language."

- Hubert Winkels : bachmannpreis.orf.at , 6 July 2018, about The Next, Please .

“Before the flood” is intended to provoke, but only lurches through the wetlands of genre literature between tastelessness and involuntary comedy. "
