In 1974, Brigitte Reimann leaves behind her unfinished cult novel FRANZISKA LINKERHAND, a literary embodiment of a person's longing for a happy life. Franziska Linkerhand is a city planner, a lover, a visionary, and the alter ego of her author, Brigitte Reimann. The title character, sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes arrogant, sometimes manic, seeks to realize her ideals of a happy life and dignified urban planning. However, this is not without conflicts with existing structures and ideologies. She looks at the status quo, with all its professions, men, cities, and families, with the perspective of a woman who demands nothing less than all the happiness in the world. FRANZISKA LINKERHAND tells of losses and utopias and poses the question of the world in which we want to live.
