between/rent: Mascha Unterlehberg - Young literature in shared flats

Jara stands on the old railroad bridge over the Ruhr and stares into the dark water. Anto, who was just sitting next to her, has jumped into the river and has not resurfaced. Only the baseball bat they used to smash a car window that night floats on the surface and won't sink ...

In her debut novel "Wenn wir lächeln" (DuMont, 2025), Mascha Unterlehberg paints a captivating and powerful portrait of a friendship in the noughties that has to assert itself against external pressure and the constant threat of violence.

The author and unforgettable Freiburg festival organizer ("zwischen/wege", 2015) talks about sisterhood, lip gloss, cherry cola and the moment of fighting back that changes everything in our "zwischen/miete" series, moderated and organized by a team of students.
