Rezension von LiaEin Buch wie ein Kunstwerk. Gliff ist ein gesellschaftskritischer Roman, der Bri und Rose in den Fokus nimmt. Auf sich allein gestellt versuchen die beiden Geschwister in einer Welt voller Technik, Datenaufzeichnung und Kontrolle Sicherheit und vor allem Antworten auf Fragen zu ihrer eigenen gesellschaftlichen Rolle zu finden. Scharfsinnig, provokant und anspruchsvoll. Sprache wird nicht allein genutzt, um die Geschichte zu erzählen. Das Schriftbild ist ein wichtiges Werkzeug des Storytellings. Ich bin nachhaltig beeindruckt, wie viel Liebe zum Detail aufgebracht wurde, um dieses Buch zu schreiben. Eine Herausforderung, die es sich lohnt, anzunehmen!
