Munich's Gossip Girl

Young author Simone Bauer has spoken with her two new books about mucbook. But also on home feeling, the city of contrasts, and Chick-Lit. The 22-year-old ordered a chocolate milkshake in cafe costume Vogl and smiles a broad, confident smile. A small brilliant sparkles on one of her canines. She is just passing through, will soon be on the Leeds Festival and cheer their favorite band placebo. Yet she found time to mucbook American about their preferences, Bavarian properties and feminist views to speak.
In your first novel, "Most decidedly undecided" does your main character that you are a weekend at Lake Chiemsee is glamorous enough. Apparently you like glamor, for in your new book, "Schwabing" is about the posh scene in Munich. Are you part of the scene? What fascinates you about it so much that you wanted to implement it in a book?I grew up with MTV. Did these American shows with Paris Hilton and Gossip Girl looked as if it had read my Bible. That's why I was always fascinated by how the elite live Sun Then I watched a lot of Kir Royal and I eventually asked how this would look like today. But not with Zettl scene with a young journalist from Berlin. The posh scene is not Mine, but I find it very interesting. I just like to stare.
You are a Wahlmünchnerin, come from Maxhütte-Heithof, near Regensburg. Why do you like Munich so much?Munich is a city of contrasts. We have a great music and fashion scene, but knows that no one outside of Munich. We also have a great indie scene and its opposite: the Schickimickiszene. The city is large, but still like a little village. I like that very much of Munich.
Do you feel a certain amount of local ties, if you leave the city and return back to it, where did you grow up?"Home is where the heart is" I always say. But Munich is still the most beautiful city in the world. I also like Berlin and New York love. It is difficult to say where I'm at home. I think I'm at home, where I feel comfortable - and that can be anywhere.
In your first book you're working the contrast vs. Bayern. America out.I myself am also very contradictory, and can I choose poorly. In the past two years, I have a lot of vacation in New York, California, Arizona and Florida made. I've met real small girl dreams: riding in the Grand Canyon, shopping in New York or a Gossip Girl-on-location tour. I like the American openness. I am also glad and happy from Bavaria, Bavarian properties to have.
What are your Bavarian properties?If a topic is not controlled by Bayer, he's just quiet and not around sounds. I do not know. And I can be very stubborn.
Now a question, you'll probably ask in every interview. Did you "Axolotl Roadkill" and "wetlands" read?The publication of my short story "Munich Girl" has been postponed because of all the scandal of "Axolotl Roadkill" backwards. "Strobe," the novel of the Helene Hegemann had copied is like my short story in Sukultur Verlag. Of course, I then also a little in "Axolotl Roadkill" read into. "Wetlands" I read three times determined. I like her, while I'm not a fan of "lap prayers" bin. I think that is because of "womb prayers," the autobiographical aspect of the size. I had an incredible fan of Charlotte Roche, was still on MTV her times. I was at a reading and have a photo with her. Really starstruck.
Does it shock as a young writer inevitably, to be successful?I think that it's like pop music, when the star is off, or dance in skimpy clothes in music videos. I recently had an interview with Marina Marina and the diamonds, which she has even asked if they provoke is essential. If you want to sell many records, you have to be sexy. But they would not. For me it is the same. If I was going to write with as many guns and drug abuse, then would not the authentic manner. So I'd rather stay with what I like.
Your protagonist, Joan likes chocolate and likes to wear dresses and flowers can not drive - the cliché woman. How typical woman are you?Unfortunately, I confirm this stereotype. I can not drive at all. Eventually I got used to it, it can never have friends, chauffeured me around. And finally, I was sad and I have eaten an entire chocolate shoe. After that I really better. I am also invested very feminist. I get the crisis, when a man can hang out, or the macho women are disadvantaged.
In "Most decidedly undecided" is your main character but leaves very unterbuttern by her boyfriend.I've heard from two independent readers that they have made after reading my book with her boyfriend. It's just so blinded by love, all this makes for a man and forget that you also have a right to know that it helps in the household. My book was a wake up call for many to sell the rose-colored glasses and stand your wife.
You say yourself that you are on Chick-Lit. Your inspiration is "Gossip Girl," "Gilmore Girls" and Sarah Kuttner. Why? What fascinates you from exactly?I define myself very excited about the dialogues. Typical for the Gilmore Girls is indeed the constant exchange of blows and the ingenious sets. Sarah Kuttner also has a crazy language. And even with Gossip Girl tells everyone what he thinks. There is nothing better than when you can call in and throw balls back and forth outdo.
Why did your first book is about young people not to drink alcohol? Do you drink alcohol itself also? Do you have experience with alcohol and peer pressure made when you were younger, or is it more of a teaching position at the young reader?I never felt that I need alcohol to be open and relaxed, it was too expensive and has never tasted me. Actually, I wanted to write a book about a young woman in the Straight Edge scene. But then my editor suggested a book to write about youth and youth because I myself like to read books, I liked the idea. There is little biographical, except for the fact that I know what you're gonna hear it for awards, if you drink alcohol.
Such as?For example, one encounters on total incomprehension. Or people say, "You will have some time with it." But I had never had such problems as bullying my main character, Emma, ​​my friends are very open, which has disturbed anybody. I voted for "alcohol free" time again sprout pad ensures a Dreamboy, holding her, but really loves another. So I again created a beautiful, healthy world.
