Das große Herz

The depiction feels raw and nuanced, which made me wonder what inspired the approach to portraying such sensitive issues authentically.

The mental health institution seems to almost breathe on its own, shaping the characters’ lives in subtle but powerful ways. What do others think about the significance of the setting?

The prose is so lyrical and evocative that it almost feels like a poem. I’m curious whether this was a conscious stylistic choice or grew organically during writing.
