“Peggy is, however, still below the three purebred Maltese Bacardi, Cappuccino and Sambuco in the family hierarchy and now has to watch as a strange man who looks like a dirty tea towel wipes his hands, which are covered in lentil soup, on his T-shirt in her kitchen.”

Because Peggy Brinkmann, age 37, can neither successfully complete her studies nor unsuccessfully drop out, her parents have financially cut her off. Now, she has to share the kitchen and bathroom with Martin, who is either busy with his cock or painting his fingernails – and nevertheless not gay. When her long-term girlfriend breaks up with her, Peggy ends up in the arms of Veronique, who waits tables in a dirty corner pub called Image. The beginning of a fast-paced chain of events that reaches its climax at the engagement party of Peggy's sister and Christfluencer Jenny.

“Image” is the sensationally unique debut novel of Svea Mausolf, best known as the meme queen @sveamaus to hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram. With Mausolf's typical mix of satire, humour and disgust, she follows in a truly noteworthy tradition: If John Waters is the “Pope of Trash”, then Svea Mausolf is the papess we have been longing for.
