The story begins seductively: A woman cooks an Arabic meal with several courses. In a monologue that is interwoven with highly sensual descriptions of the preparation of the food, it unfolds a complex network of relationships on different narrative levels. Stories are told that are related to concrete political events. The topics are as old as they are current: expulsion from homeland, loss of family, or of life, the difficulties of a new beginning, weddings which create connections, and reconciliation. The story was completed before the recent political developments, but the title “ The Wedding Feast” and the description of the individual courses of the meal already suggest a reconciliation round the big table. (Translated into English by Paul Crichton and Christl Kiener)
